Ive got 07 v6 auto mustang with the pony package wheels and was wanting to upgrade to some new wheels and tires, but I drive about 115 miles a day. Ive heard that the 20's are rough riding so anyone have somesuggestions. I drive on the interstate for most of my commute. Some say 20's are fine others say no, whats the verdict? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really like the way the 20's look.

thanks,

If you want the 20s, then get the 20s. Just make sure you get some lowering springs or coilovers to eliminate the gap between the wheels and the fender.

i vote 18x9 with 255/45/18 tires. Thats what I'm doing when I upgrade

I got 16's i think and upgrading to 18's in the back, 17's in the front.

16's??? why not 15's... maybe 14's... heck just modifiy some go kart tires... you'll be the first I swear... haha... jk... I would actually go with 20's ... love the look to much.

You'll not get a consensus on this, that's for sure.

I just replaced my 18's with different, wider 18's and lowered it. I notice quite a difference in ride now that it's lowered. If my car was a daily driver like yours, I'd try to drive a lowered car on 20's before I went that route.

I've got 18s and it's my DD dont have any problems.

I would go for the 20's mine is a daily driver and its not that bad to drive on the highway and such..but do lower it

I'll try to give you a chart with pros/cons of each, figure out where you stand

17: strip performance (lots of sidewall), ride comfort, availability of tires, old school muscle look

18: compromise between straight line performance and style, enough sidewall for hard launches with sticky tires but don’t expect crazy 60’ times, acceptable ride comfort, relatively common tire sizes

19: probably best bet for road racing/corner carving performance if used with a lightweight rim, not for strip use, hard to find tires, ride comfort begins to tank, a pot hole can wreck your day

20: best modern look, ride comfort is noticeably affected, bent rims become a reality

Personally I’m waiting for a torque thrust style 17x10 wheel to come out. I’d owned two cars that had the biggest rims possible and I’ll never go low profile on a daily driver or even a weekend cruiser again. It was just one headache after another. Some will argue differently

The majority, if not all 20`s are performance oriented tires that give very low tread mileage, for a lot of people here that`s not a consideration. But since you drive 600+ miles a week the expense
could be considerable. Possibly 2 sets of tires per year.
