Default New 20" Wheels

I am wanting to put new wheels on my 2001 GT and am thinking about 20" rims. Will I need to do any modifications to the front wheel well area to be able to turn all the way from side to side?

you can 20s on a mustang. but it takes a lot of suspension work to make them fit right. 18s fit perfect with just springs.

In my opinion as well as some others on the site anything bigger than 18's is just wrong on a Stang. Get yourself a nice set of 18's and get them wide (9" to 10").

Ok thanks for the input. I think I'm going to go with the 18"x 9" Chrome Bullitt wheels. I'll post a pic when I get them.
