No one will have pics because 20's don't belong on a Mustang. 18's are pushing it as well imo. Why not 17's in the back and 15's or 16's up front if that's the look you're trying to achieve? What rims are you considering?

The 17's look good. Rmodel what else do you have in that garage. It looks like you're running a chop shop.

20's will fit in a 20x8" rim size with an offset ~4.75", but because its such a tall diameter there is no way you will be able to make it NOT look hoopDEE without doing some major mods to the fenderwell/suspension. The ebay fastforward fastback by Rad Rides by Troy I think had 20" rims on the back, but they did some major modding. Unless you want to look like a wagon train, I would stick with a 17 or MAX 18" rim (im running 17's on my 65 no problems)

Holy Hell

With a 5 liter like that under the hood I wouldn't doubt if it could go to the moon and back.....very FAST. Serious though that thing was nicely done, you have to admit.
