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.
