20"s are too heavy. And most of them look like weird on our cars. I think I've seen maybe 2 Mustangs with 20"s that looked okay. Most of them look like toys.
18"s can be had in good looking, relatively lightweight designs. You can also wrap some nice (relatively) tall rubber around them so it doesn't look like you're trying to drive around on rubber bands.
A car like the Mustang (and I dare say just about EVERY car built) is designed to look good with the wheel wells filled with wheels AND tires, not just wheels. If there's no rubber in there it starts to look too much like a cheap toy.

No rubber bands here. I still have 3.5 inches of sidewall on my front tires compared to the 5 inches from the stock setup, and even more than that in the back. That is plenty of rubber. Trust me.

I would know about 20"s cause I have a good working set of peepers, and occasionally read. And, not to knock you personally, your car still looks goofy. Just my opinion.

ok, all i was wondering about was the RIDE QUALITY of 20''ers compared to 18"ers. traction is good, but i dont drag, i drive mine daily and didnt want wheels that would rattle my brain on the road! thats all.
