I was thinking about buying these, "Two 20x8.5" (35mm or 20mm offset) with about 2.5" Lip and Two 20x10" (30mm offset) with about 4" Lip" anybody seen or have a stang with this setup? Also what size tires would i need? Thanks for the help guys!

 

Can't say that 20s would be a very good look on a 04 stang. But who knows?...Im just not a fan of the idea at all....

 

I saw these on an 05, and it looked pretty mean, they are not too flashy at all...

 

they do... but 05's are a LOT different, if i were you 18s are as large as i'd go... otherwise they just dont look quite right

 

This is true... What about 19's i didnt want to lower the car, but i want to fill out the fender wells. i am gonna hold off then since the auction is over in an hour... Anybody got any pics of a stang with more than 18's?

 

Go with 18s and the money you save on tires alone from not going with 19s will pay for a nice set of H&R Sport springs...The look will be awesome!

 

well I had 20x8.5 chrome cobra Rs on my 96 GT. My avatar is the best picture I have as a result of a computer crash. They are currently on my fiance's 95 v6. I really liked the look (only took them off because fiance wanted some chrome rims and I plan on getting some dark rims in the near future). Believe it or not, they actually don't look bad on mustangs. Everyone criticizes those who want to go big. These 20s did not even look that big on the car. I often had people ask me about the size and were shocked to know that they were 20s. They were often mistaken for 18s. If style is what you are after, then obviously 20s are ok. For performance, you would probably want to just stick with 17s. The tires were Nitto NT-555s, 255/35/20 up front, 275/35/20 in the back. On the GT, I had very little problems scrubbing, except for really steep driveways. The v6 has more problems due to a softer rear suspension and no rear swaybar.

I will try to post pics if you want. I might even be willing to sell you mine if you are interested, since I want some dark rims for my car and they scrub a bit on my fiance's. I don't know if you were interested in chrome cobra Rs or not. Here is the link to what the rims look like up close from where they were purchased Chrome Cobra Rs. I am not exactly sure of the offsets. I did not personally purchase these rims (they were put on by the previous owner), but the link is to the place from where the guy bought them, and since they only list a +30 offset, I assume that is what my rims are. Let me know if you are interested.

Look...the object with mustangs is NOt the object with other cars where your objective is to get the biggest rims that fit in your car. On mustangs, 19" and 20" is flat out ridiculous. 18" looks AWESOME on every car I've seen and there is no reason why 19 or 20 is any better.

 

yeah, if you want to really slow your car down then go ahead and put 20s on there....

 

who made you God to say what is or is not the object? It is to each his own. Some want show, some want go. These parts would not even exist if there wasn't a market for them. To you, 19s or 20s may be ridiculous, but to me that airplane wing you have is ridiculous, but I'm not on hear ripping you about it (until now). If he wants to put 20s on his mustang, leave him alone about it. You can give your opinion that you do not prefer 19s or 20s, no one can say that you cannot do a certain thing to their car.

I will say that I would not have a set of 20s if they were not already on the car when I bought them. Right now, being in college and having little money, the more economical thing is to go smaller (by smaller, I mean smaller than 20s, like the average 17), but since I didn't have to buy these, it is no sweat. I can change up when it comes time for tires or if find someone to buy these off of me (krod are you listening??). I do have to say that to me, the car drove and rode much better with the 20s than it does with the stock 16s back on it. You do notice a torque decrease with the large rims, but if show is what you are after, then it won't matter too much, and I am sure that it is not that much to matter unless you are drag racing anyway, where every little 1/10 matters.

So bottomline is, get off your high horse and only express opinions. Nothing is set in stone as to what you can or cannot do to your car.

 

looks like you're the one on the high horse typing all that ramble about how everyone can do what they want to their car. Yes, anyone can add 20 to their 99-04 mustang, but these are people with no taste. humongous, thick, wheelwell filling rims look like @$$ on mustangs and if you took a poll of Mustang enthusiasts, 95% of them would say that they don't like the look. Sure the ricers would be all over it but who are you trying to impress anyways?

 

well that is your opinion that they look like @$$ on mustangs, not a standard thing. Obviously not everyone thinks that. As far as impressing someone, everyone that saw my car with the 20s was impressed with them so I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, there may have been many others who saw them that never said anything to me or that I didn't know that hated them, but you know, can't please everyone.

But, anyway, this thread was krod asking about putting large rims on his mustang. I posted here because he asked for people with experience with 20s. Although I do not have a 99-04, I figured I could be of some assistance to him. I guess enough smack talk for tonight.
