18" or 20"
Got a 07 V6 looking to get the Bullitt DD. I can't decide between the 18 or 20 and I have no idea what tire size to get. I do not believe I will bel owering it. So any suggestions are welcome. Do the 20's affect ride quality by much and will the tire size be different for each rim. 18x9 front 18x10 back or 20x8.5 front 20x10 in back. Thanks

RE: 18" or 20"
I have 20s on my 06 gt. Idk for your setup, on my gt vert, they affect the ride a little. more firm, feel the road a lot more.Car is also more sluggish, with the added wheel weights and rom.20s will fit for sure. Are you sure you want 20s on a 6? Tire sizes: I went with 245/40/20, 275/35/20 for the same 20's fitment as above. For the 18's, 255/40 or 255/35 fronts, 275/35 rears.

I recommend 18's for all Stangs.
Much more tire size options, less expensivefor same tires in smallerwheel size, more options in profiles and room for wider in general. You have a lot of room under wheel well, so you will have some gap unless you go 50 series or higher profile. Keep in mind, if you go more than 1/2' smaller/larger overall diameter tire, your speedo will be inaccurate by approx. 5 MPH at 70 or so. This can be corrected pretty easily via tuner tho.
