I just got a new 05 Gunmetal Mustang V6 coupe and was wondering if 18's or 20's would look better. Do 20's even fit?

sure 20"s fit. actially 20s fit really really well.a lot of people on this forum dont like 20"s though. . .

heres mine...

When the wheel size gets anybigger than about half of the hood height or 1/3 of the roof height they overwhelm the rest of the car visually, and distract the eye from seeing the car as a single item. You see two large wheels, and oh, by the way, that's a Mustang in between them.

The flip side is also true (less than about25% of roof height or 3/8 of hood height looks lost).

Go for the proportion, not the number of inches.

20s should fit ive seen a few of them with 20s. if it where my car i would go with 20s but its up to you alot of people are gonna say u are dumb for puting 20s but its your car,what i can tell you about 20s is to be carefull when you drive cuz they are delicate especially if you have a low protire telling you from experience.

Just to add another thought, 9% to maybe 10% of overall length.

18s for sure. 20s look nice on a Rolls Royce or a Mercedes, not a mustang

I have seen a couple of Stangs with 20s that I didn't mind, but generally, the 18s look much better to me. I agree that it is a proportional thing. I think the 20s on some SUVs look fine, but 22 or 24 look dumb. From a performance perspective, the 18 win. Style is a little more subjective.
