We just bought a 2005 V6 on Sunday and it has a set of 20" Shift wheels on it with 35 series Nitto low profiles, it looks real sick. Looks like the wheels are a direct bolt on. Even though they aren't bullet's, they look pretty trick.

Default RE: Rim question

Does anyone know the largest dimensions for rims that one can get? I dont know much about sizing and how to find wheels that will fit. Much less tires for the wheels. Oh, and what size is recommended. I hear the larger your rim, the greater the chance for tire pinch and a resulting blowout. I dont think i want very lo pro tires, but a streamlined look would be nice. I wanna keep my car Beefy looking. I was thinking 18 x as wide as possible, but that last post gave me an idea for the illusion of a rear end lift (like the old school muscle), using different tire sizes. Possible 20 x wide in the back, and 18 or 19 x not so wide in the front. Any ideas on what that would look like?? Or any ideas on better sizes, or better ideas? Right now i'm formulating my "Pimp my Stang" battle plan. Starting with intake exhaust, and going on through body and show mod's until my warranty is up, then sliding into performance. So any help is wonderful

When I went to Dicount Tire they were able to pull up my stang and show me all the possible sizes I could get. I can't recall what they are, but you should be able to call the local tire shop.
