You can get something bigger than 18s.

from what I've heard so far the 20's might be too big looking on that car- maybe great to show but not the best ride- like venom sais if you can afford but for my 05 gt looking at 18's

18's give you a hybrid of looks/performance. 20's fill the wheel well pretty well, and they look good w/ the car. But the 18's give you the best ride/widest possible tire.

20" rims add way to much rotating mass for me to ever put those on a 05+ mustang. For me 18" would be max plus who wants to pay $$$ for 20" tires, not this guy.

To give you an idea of how the overall wheel and tire would look, I have 18's on mine. It'll at least give you an idea.

you can run 20s on a 99-04 and I know someone running 20s on a 96 thats also dropped you could run 22s if you wanted its just how you want it to look friends show transam has 22s in the back and 20s up front and looks like they have rubber bands on them
