No that wasn't me.... Usally if someone has devildog as part of their e-mail address or handle indicates they are a U.S Marine..... fyi

18/20 staggered would look better on an S-197 mustang, for the SN95s 17/18 stagger looks more fitting to the vehicle.

stick with 18s. 20s make your handling crappy and don't fit the look of the car as naturally as aftermarket rims should.

20's rlly dont look too bad, but they honestly do slow you down alot and they really mess up the handling, but hey where i live i need the lift they give me expecially if im to put a body kit on my car. but its anyones opinion, my mustang is a v6, therefore not to be fast just the look of a mustang is all i paid for. but im buying a wrecked v6 and gonna start a project engine with stroking and camming etc and drop it in later on.

Compared to 17s 18s??? It doesn't handle any worse than any other mustang.... with the 18s in front it doesn't slow it down any more than 18s all around in fact I have more traction than when I had 18's all around because the 20s in the rear are wider... I'm speaking from my experience not an assumption...

My Mustang doesn't look like the mass majority because I have 18s in the front and 20's in the rear.... Shame on me... I guess I don't conform to the standards of the majority of the Mustang owners of America... Well
good That is my point ... I want to personalise my Stang so it doesn't look like the next guys...

What do the majority of Non Mustang owners who don't know squat think when they glance at a Mustang? Well some think of the average 6 cylinder model ( No offense to those who own 6 bangers) Then they hear the roar of that v8 and they say " thats no average Mustang" I have seen a lot of Camero and Firebird owners who don't know squat and think they have the **** and probally never raced a Mustang and they under rate our ponies because they have this picture of the average 6 banger with 15 inch rims that hasn't been washed in a month..

Guess I'm guilty of being an individual and being different.... shouldn't be that way??? If we all try to make our mustangs comform a certain way well isn't that boring? Is to me...

Hey, when my 6 banger had 15" wheels I probably washed it more than any of the bastards on this forum. lol

You sound like a typical 16 year old emo kid whining about conformity.

Sure you dont have to do what everyone else does, yer welcome to make your mustang look as retarded as you possibly can. but when 9/10 people say something looks like ****, that is because 9/10 people agree it looks like ****, and chances are 9/10 drivers are gonna think yer a retard, and chances are everyone one else with a mustang is gonna think yer a ricer or poser for taking such a rediculous wheel arrangement.

you can like it all you want, and talk about what a raging awesome individual you are, but nobody else has to like it and nobody else will, so yes, you will be "THAT GUY" that people laugh at.

Have fun!

but if that is what yer into, go for it.

Well then why are you ******** about it? You appear to be a leader on this board then whats with the sarcasm with someone who has a different idea or thought than the mass majority???

I'm bashing everyone on this site???? I haven't bashed anyone except YOU..... Why??? because your bashing me because I have a different idea than you and you don't like it... Thin skin.... Not likely just standing up for what I like.... Just trying to help you out by suggesting you might open your mind a little....

Hey I am loyal to all Mustang owners and don't want to bash any of them..

Well then prove me wrong and put up a pic, lets take a look at this. Honestly i dont for a second think it will look good, 20's are just way too big for sn95 mustangs.

serisouly dude, you need to take a chill and stop taking the internet so seriously. Yer gonna get real honest opinions on here, take em or leave em, look at GottiDC for example, go check out the threads he started, he was flamed 6 ways form sunday but still diddnt cry about it.

My opinion is that 20's look retarded on sn95 mustangs. period. i have NEVER seen 20's on a sn95 that looked even halfway decent. Am i supposed to lie to you and tell you i think it looks fine and dandy?


Now that i have a moment, im going to address some of the finer points of your post.

Yes i am. Dont ask me how, im still not quite sure myself.

Well I bet if I saw what you look like in person I bet I would be laughing at you....
yeah but actually probably not, seriously, are you already starting out with th E-thuggery?

You know I am just stating how I feel about this wheel arangement but you are getting a little personal about it because you don't like it....
i gave you a little ribbing because you are bragging about how cool you are for non conforming and pretty much saying everyone else is a clone cause only you have origionality. Once again, relax, it is only the internet. No reason to respond with such a stupid post as you did.

It sounds like you spend entirely too much time on the computer by looking at how many post you have made......
More E-thug-titude. ive been posting on here for about 4 years now, my job has the same workload as a maytag repairman so i spend a lot of time with nothing to do but surf the internet. This is one of the probable 2-3 dozen posts i have ever actually posted up here at home.

I bet you act like a dick head with your post because you have a small dick and have a little man complex so you compensate by posting like a dick head...
Yet again, more E-Thuggery.. i mean seriously?.... isnt that a bit childish?

I may get kicked of this site for this post oh well I've got better things to do....
i certainly have no plans to kick anyone off.

And these Mustang boards are a dime a dozen... And this one aparenently has no comaradre what so ever...
Yeah, after a few weeks and a hundred posts on your part, yer gonna realize why this is the single best mustang forum online.

In the real worls NOT the interenet world I have not had a negative comment one about my car....
That is because in the real world people are less concerned about hurting peoples feelings and more likely to be honest.

But your problem yes I'm talking to you "JACK "***... You have a narrow mind and think YOUR the ****...
I am the ****, but just cause i dont like 20 inch rims i have a narrow mind?

Well by the way you post you sound like a whimp and a moron hiding behind a computer so you can feel tuff...
Oh please, give me a break, in real life OR the internet i could honestly give 2 ***** about some dude who wants to come on here acting like he is some billybadass. I think im gonna have to submit you for E-thug of the year award!

9/10 of the people on this site don't mean ****.... 9/10 in the real world does.....
Then why the hell are you on here? why dont you go pester some of the real people who will be polite and tell you yer wheel arrangement is so damn cool..
Those people are probably just being polite, thats all, but i dont think there are many mustang enthusiests who will like that wheel combination. Once again, if you wanna show everyone how freaking super awesome cool it is go put in a thread on the "introduce yourself" section introduce yourself and put up a pic of yer stang. But before you do it please be fully aware that you will get real honest opinions, not the polite "sure sure it looks great" you are used to.

You should try to unite Mustang owners JACK not try to run them off.....
I dont HAVE to like your mustang, and you done HAVE to like my opinion.

Im not running anyone off. Quit being an E-thug, stop taking the internet so seriously, then go post a super cool pic of yer wicked wheel arrangement with the 20dub yo in the rear and show me how super awesome it really is.

If i like it, ill be honest about it.

now go.

get

post it up.

picsorban!

Dam dudes,

It's really not that serious. Arguing over 17's, 18's, and 20's. The way i see it it's your car so f*** what everyone else thinks. I got 20's, so what if people dont like it its no sweat off my back. They dont have to look at it or drive it. I been flamed on many times on here about my rims, and Im sure it wont be the last. But it has never happened to me in person, I have recieved nothing but compliments on my ride. But I guess I can take criticism better than others. LOL. Cause Im going to do me regardless. LOL

15 inch welds for the win, Just the right amount of rubber on the road where it needs it.

To each their own...every car dosent need 17" bullits, welds,or fr500's. Some cars can pull off the 20s some cant.

To the starter of the thread: the biggest mistake you did was ask for someone's oppinion online. If you like the wheels then forget what the rest of the 16 year olds on the thread think. I dont like the wheels, I do like the 20" bullits on some cars, but for a nice looking street stang, go with some 03 cobras or fr500's. you can easly sell the 255/35/20's online for 100 or so a piece.

it's all a matter of perspective. 20's are not classy for a mustang. i'm maintaining stock on mine & 17's are just great. if i ever did change, 18's would be the largest i would go with. reminds me of those 30's with the spinning frontplates i saw on that impala the other day. oh the things that foul up our roads!

I missed this thread.

I dont like the 20s since it raises the ride height therefore defeating the purpose of the larger wheels. I have found that the bigger the wheels the lower the car has to go. I have seen a Cobra with staggared 18 - 20 wheels and it looked really nice but the guy had about a a few mm of space between the tire and fender. Also the wheel in the rear was a deeper dish compared to the fronts. Deep dish in the front as well as the rear is a look for SUVs IMO.

The issue that most are having is whats the point in making a sports car look like a truck. If you like the look of big wheels it should be on a vehicle that supports that look like a truck.

You cant make everyone happy Im sure when my car is done there will be some things people would of changed but it really wont bother me as long as I like it.
