Default How wide and low can I go?

I just purchased a 2002 GT and was wondering if this wheel set up would work with a little bit of drop. I am planning on running 20x8.5 in front and 20X10.5 in the rear. I was wondering if I would have any room to lower the car as well. I am new to the Mustang world so please don't bash me to bad.

I doubt youd have any room. why do u want 20's though. i personally think they are two big for the new edge mustangs. 18's looks perfect. but a 10.5 wide rim at 20 isnt gonna be able to handle too wide of tires because theyll be real close to the exhaust tailpipes. maybe u could fit 295's.

20s look really awkward on a New Edge stang, youve been warned. lol

I was gonna do 20's because my company has a new 20" wheel out that I like alot. I may change the style of wheels and just do 19's. Here is a pic of the wheels. The first is only available in 20 and the second in 19 and 20.

I think I am gonna go with the five spoke. I also am gonna use the red insert because my stang is red. These pics do the wheels no justice. They are very nice forged three peice wheels.
