so i cant decide on tire and wheel size. i want low profile to begin with something like 275 35
i currently have the stock size and no drop so it looks like a frickn 4x4.
if i go with a 20" would i still need to drop it or will the tire and wheels fill the gap enough?
thanks

Please don`t get 20`s [&o]

If your wanting to fill the wheelwell dropping the car via a spring package would be a much better option.

You will need to keep your overall tire height the same regardless of the wheel size, you will simply run a shorter sidewall/tire with the larger rim. In other words, you don't really fill up the well any better.

If you don't you will effect both your speedometer and your final drive ratio. Putting on a taller overal tire height will acutally reduce your ratio. For example, instead of 3.27s you might end up with a 3.08 ratio.

you put 20's on a Mustang and you deserve to be donkeypunched

just lower your car and run 18" rims. any bigger rims leave too little sidewall. you will end up popping your tire off the rim while driving around town

ya i think 18 is the biggest size rim to run on a mustang. ive seen em with 19s and 20s and to me they look out of place.

IMHO (OK, maybe not so humble) 19s and 20s look silly on nearly anything...

timi

alrighty then 18's it is then! thanks for the help! kinda glad too because the difference between the 18's and 20's was gonna be another few hundred bucks.

20s dont look that bad on the new stangs or escalades but id go with a 18 at the most...imo

yea well you think 20s is bad, there is a guy with 24s on his new edge riding around my area. its lifted with 24s how friggin GAY. and on top of that theyre spinners.[:@]

if you get 20"s it wont do any good like 2kgt4.6 said, you will just have to get lower profile tires

and yes to answer your question it will rub like borat does to pamela

if you want a bigger wheel you can get 18"s and still maintane half decent mpg/speed/ride comfort with 20"s all 3 of those are toast
