Default 2011 lowering kit and wheel combo

I want to lower the car with the ford racing k springs - I am also looking to put a new set of wheels on the car but I want to make sure what size I can go with - I was thinking 20x8.5 on front and 22x10 on back is this combination possible with the lowering kit? (Maximum size with lowering combo) I do not have the brembo pkg but may add it.

The front will be fine......The rear on the other hand.....I'm not sure about.
I've never heard of anyone putting 22's on the rear of a mustang.

I'm not going to tell you not to do it, but I am going to tell you to put your flame suit on.

If you get the right wheels and tires......I guess it could be pulled off, but who knows.
I try not to judge

There's a possibility that you might rub with 22's with a 10" section width......But like I said, I have NO clue about 22's....

20x10's fit fine though
and would certainly look good.

I highly doubt a 22" will fit bro. And besides that, it's going to look way to big IMO. However, if ya get it to work, post pictures. THAT should be interesting lol

While not a 2010+, 22" rear wheels have definitely been done on an S197 'Stang.

Now that is what I am looking for - I love the tilt that you get from the 22 and 20 on the front and with it lowered it fills the well perfect.
Thank you for the link here is the wheels I am looking at

When you go to that link you have to select the option to see them in black with the chrome cap.

I love 20"s on these cars but I have yet to see a set of 22"s that didn't look silly. You can't fit a large enough tire and not enough of the tire gets covered by the wheel well.

Why not put 16's on the front and 22's on the back? That will give you a raked look.
