First, you'll never get 20's under there.

18's with 35 series sidewalls are biggest i've seen.
18's with 245/35 R 18's would look nice though to answer your question


you could maybe squeeze 19's if you didn't mind using rubber bands for tires.

if you want a Pimp car go get a caddy or something.

well, i'm pretty sure 20s would fit...i think that some rims of this size can look good on a stang..i think it all depends on the rim, and as you mentioned the tire size..
for instance, this new mustang has 20s on it...

My vote is no go for a 20" ... 18" at the biggest! Performance will suffer more than you think.
