In my opinion, 18's are way too small for these cars due to the size of the large fenderwells. 18's are just too small to the point almost look like a spare tire. These new 5.0's are quite large cars especially when compared to the fox 5.0's back in the day where 17's were the norm or a custom wheel was an 18 to fill the fenderwell.

When it comes to wheels, it's especially true, you get what you pay for. If you buy a "cheaper" wheel, it's going to made cheaply using cheaper, heavier materials.
Larger wheels also affect the gear ratio. 18's are to small in your opinion but with a drop it looks perfect to me. 20's just look too big.
