Default New wheels?

I'm looking at getting 20" Black Foose Nitrous wheels for my v6 and was wondering if any mods are needed for them to fit.
Thanks

Nope. Nothing besides taking the little brake clips off that you need to do for any aftermarket wheel. I have them and they look great and work great

Nope- no mods needed but they might be wanted.....I mean who doesn't like to mod and one mod leads to another (even if just an appearance mod)

lmao u are so right...i had a base gt with nothing on it and started with a simple roush hood scoop and now look where i am...its addictive.....

20"ers do cause some power loss but i wouldnt worry about it in a v6 anyways....

btw, what are those splitters u have on your headlights made out of or are they painted on?...ive seen the plastic stick on splittlers and they have a different look than yours.....

+1 but you may not notice it...

Other than possibly having to change the tire revs/mile to keep the speedometer reasonably accurate, depending on if you change your overall tire diameter, you'll be fine.

you don't have to do anything to get them to fit.

you might consider lowering it for appearance reasons, if you haven't already

thanks guys, and the headlight splitters are made from the same material as the bumper (urethane? or whatever it is) they came attached when i bought it so they dont have that stick on look either.
