RE: Too BIG?
Our stangs are one of the few cars that 20's look "natural" on if you get the right rims. I hate 20's.. so that's saying a lot for me.
Off-set 18's with nice thick rubber looks the best.. in my opinion.

Do what you want it's you car....
We have 20's on both of our S-197 and neither my wife or I would go back..... (lol except for studded winter tires)
20" Saleen & 20" Black Bullitts
Hmm which one today?
Back when both cars were sportin Bullitts.

RE: Too BIG?
I like the staggered 18's as well, especially if I had a 6'er I wouldn't go any bigger. However I came across a smoking deal on these 20's so I'm trying them out (still haven't put the TPS in these wheels yet, I didn't want to spend the extra cash until I was sure I wanted to keep them) but I did go with the taller rubber...I like them and I haven't noticed as much hp loss as most of the guys on here are concerned about...the ride with the taller rubber is about the same as my 18's maybe just a little harsher...the biggest thing I've noticed is the stopping distance with the20" wheels, if I keep these bigger brakes will be next mod. Bottom line, Go with what you want, don't worry about what the others think...

RE: Too BIG?
I saw 20" wheels for the first time on a Mustang in person 2 days ago on a lowered 6er. And was surprised at how much bigger they are in person then they look in the pictures.
I still like 20's but with the shorted front and rear bumpers on the V6 it didn't look to good.
