Default Tires + Suspension

My stock Pirelli P Nero Zeros have reached the wear bars after 24K miles. (Thank you Nos).
So it's time to upgrade. I want to go with a new more-aggressive look than the standard 17" buillet wheels that came with the car.

The current 17s look very tiny and don't fit the mustang at all.
So originally i wanted to do 19" in the front and 20" in the rear.
But there seem to be way too few options for 19" let alone
matching 20"

I'm pretty satisfied with these
Tire Rack.com showed me this.



And i figure with some custom springs i could achieve this:

Those wheels look good on your car, but why only lower the front and not the rear?

Those look great. You lasted 24k miles on stock rubber??! Nice! I lasted about 15k with my 275/40/20s. Stock rubber would last me about 5k lol.

More aggressive look. I'm not looking for the street-machine, slammed to the deck look.
Looking for the classic muscle car down in front, big in back.

I'm thinking 1.25" lower in front. .5" or .25" lower in back.
Should handle slightly better around turns and attract even
more looks.

Example of muscle car with extreme setup:


Good idea or bad idea?

Eibach has some drag springs that do this. The rear does not drop only the front.

I agree about the classic muscle car look. High in the back and low in the front rocks.

And I love that picture.
