Default Too BIG?

I was thinking about getting 20" put on my stang. But some people have told me that it would be too big and not look good. What do you think?

It's all personal preference. Personally, they're not for me, but the Saleens come with them stock, and they don't look too bad.

Most people who are avoiding them seem to be doing it more b/c of poor ride and performance rather than aesthetics.

I just got mine and I love the way they look! Sick, the picture does not do justice. I think the stereing is more sporty as I have a wider tire up front. The only downside is the ride. It is much stiffer becaues of the profile of the tire. 265/35/20

Hey I'm not a fan of 20's because I understand they can hurt your performance. However, I think they look good on some of the cars (the saleens were already mentioned). Do what you like!

Vulcan, I have to admit those razors look good.

I have 20's and they dont look to big. They also help the car handle the turns.

In my opinion,the stock 17” wheels make the Mustang look too long and too low. Adding the 20s makes it look shorter and a lot taller. The negative is lost ET....

I think 20's look pretty damn good, they just aren't for me. I wanted bigger rubber on mine so I didn't have to slow down to a crawl for every train track and bump in the road that I came upon, and I just don't think that is possible with the 20's because the aspect ratio is too small. Although, I do remember one guy that had the thicker rubber on his 20's and it did look pretty good, but i'm not sure how tall that made his rear tires overall diameter stand.
