simply put, yes they are 20s they will hinder your performance.

if you are going for performance 18 are the all around wheel size typically. The rotating mass of the wheel is not much greater then stock but the profile of the tire will be small enough to improve handling.

20" wheels will effect everything from your breaking to launching to just overall feel of power due to being a larger mass that you need to spin.

id be curious to know exactly what they weigh per wheel

^ Agreed.

I think 18"s are the way to go for ALL Stangs. They will fit, but limit your options for tires and rubbing can be an issue (and you DON'T want to go there again )
