Default Rims

I just had the Roush Body Kit installed on my triple black 05.
So now I have to change those stock rims.
I'm thinking 20's but concerned about the ride change.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I have 20's on mine I am going to say you may want to choose a smaller rim size the ride is pretty rough. I was thinking about getting smaller rims or trying to get a bigger profile on the tire to see if that helps.

If you got your car lowered then 18 inch rims would look great. If you besides looks also want performance out of your car 18 is theway to go. Remeber that's extra weight and also a bigger tire you engine is gona have to deal with.

Your wheels look great and changing to 18s' are going to be more money. After all those mods' you could have had a v-8. But its your money and car.

It is a V8

I'm lookin to put the roush kit on my black 05 GT. I also live in Portland. Where did you get it done at? Happy with the install/paint? How is the clearance around here with the front chin? IMHO some chome 20's would look great!

I think so too! I have chrome 20's and the ride to say the very least is quite comfortable for everyday driving. I have 265/30/20 in front and 285/30/20 in the rear. The only change in the future is I will be going 35 series in the frint and wider in the rear. This is for the stance of the car being lowered in the rear only and not for ride comfort. Many will sway you from 20's but I love the look and will make up for the performance loss when I get my S/C this summer or spring. JMO J

Totally agree with mygt500. I have 20's and although the ride isn't the softest, it's certainly not bad at all. But I've never driven one with stock tires to compare. I think black wheels would look good if you don't plan on chroming anywhere on the car. But if you like chrome trim and etc, then maybe chrome wheels would look better.
