Staggered wheels look great, but you'll want to think about this first before you pull the trigger.

If you start with 18x9's in the front and 18x10's in the back, what do you when you have to rotate your tires? It will look goofy as f*@k with larger 18x10's in the front and smaller 18x9's in the rear. So you either put up with the goofy look, or you wear the treads down as much as you safely can and then buy new tires...and that'll happen a lot sooner than if you rotate your tires as you should.

I staggered mine (18x9 in the front, 18x10 in the rear). I regret doing it from a functional and cost standpoint. I should have gone with four 18x9's to make the tire rotation a lot easier and save on costs for tire replacement. Now it'll be a extra cash out of my pocket to maintain the aesthetic look when I have to rotate.

Either that or I'll have to fork over $600+ for a set of new 18x9 wheels and tires to match the front.

OK -- Still confused. Not worried about tire rotation. This car is not my Daily Driver, and I don't mind the cost of tires... it's just part of the cost of doing business.

I was also hoping for some suspension inputs (read my original post please) in combination with 20's.

Also really liking the TSW Donington wheelset in 20x8.5 and 20x10. Reminds me of the RTR/SVT look... yet more modern which I think will work nicely with the more angular '11 lines.

Just hoping they clear the Brembos. Planning on a black car. The attached pic will give you the look I'm interested in (just shut underperforming piece of metal located between the wheels out of your mind)...

Just FYI, on my RTR's i am running 275's all the way around and nothing sticks out. i might even try 285's next time i get tires.

Since your 'Stang is not a DD, then I say stagger the wheels!

Also, since you want 20" rims, I believe that most, if not all, 20" rims will fit around the Brembos front calipers with ease.

I don't think that's true. If you search Tire Rack for 20" with standard brakes, you get 7 pages of results. If you limit the search to Brembo Brakes you get three. If you want wheels that aren't ugly (or cost a fortune) you get none.

Oh hell yea!

It's a stang, and to me its gotta be staggered. Gonna put the big pigs out back myself this spring (295/45/18) and the nitto's aren't that bad on the budget.
It's really all about what you want....badass, slick, or track.
Search your feeling. lol
Good luck with her.

As light or lighter than most 18" wheels, forged rims, correct offset front and rear, made in 20x9.5 and 20x10.5, look fabulous, hard to beat these new TSW.

CXracer

Yep, I'm all over the TSW Nuringburg... but I like the TSW Donington better looks wise, plus it comes in a true black, the Nuringburg is more of a gunmetal grey... which I'm not liking quite as much.

Question is, which, if not both will clear the brembos?

908ssp

I know the Nurburgring clears Brembos and they are much lighter than than the Donington as they have forged rims where the Donington is cast.
