I would vote CT-R Chrome 18X9 front and 18X10 on the rear.I lowered both cars 1.2" front and 1.5" rear.GT 500 has 315/30/18 rear 295/35/18 front.
The GT has 285/40/18 rear 255/40/18 on the front. I have the springs but the GT is a work in progress haven't had time to put the springs on it yet.
Here's a couple of pics.

LOL.

I dunno, as long as you lower your car, I think 20's look fine.

The S197 has a bulky enough body style to handle rims that big (in terms of appearance.) Definitely needs to be lowered though if that's the case.

If you don't want to lower it, you can probably go with 18's and still look okay.

putting 20's on a stock car, congratulations you are now slower and handle worse than a stock mustang.

Nice to see you finally onboard of the ctr bandwagon! I remember when you asked about new wheels foryour GT-500 and you wasn't into it then, the looks, the build, the weight, the finish, the price and even the packaging make them just perfect!. Can't go wrong with them.
