My fear is the 20" wheels looking ghetto on a Mustang.

Thanks for the info. I noticed on some sites like Tire Rack... when I clicked "brembo" option I got a lot more choices than the standard brake option. Will this cause any issues? I thought the only difference was the brembos came with 19" to clear the brakes.

The few guys that posted above have 20's so you can decide for yourself by looking at their sig pics.
The brembo equipped cars typically run wider wheels so thats why you are seeing more choices available. Nothing wrong with a wider wheel all depends on the look you're going for.

They aren't bad, how much do yours weigh?

My wheels are MUCH lighter than yours. Your wheels are a heavy cast wheels. Mine are a lightweight forged aluminum wheel.

You can ask Jon, (Jucostud). When I was up at his store having the tires mounted on the wheels I took a picture of the stock 19 and the new 20 inch wheel with the 305's side by side before putting them in the back of the Magnum. The size difference was awesome. After I took the picture, I lifted the stock 19 to put it in car. Damn it was heavy. Then I went to pick up new wheel and nearly fell over backwards cuz it was so much lighter cuz I was prepared for it too be heavy too! lol.

Lol you say all this like you race all the time and every little pound matters. my 19s are lighter than my stock wheels and even if they werent it wouldnt matter because I'm not racing and the extra couple of pounds don't make a difference lol

This is the slowest car I've had in years, but that is a temporary condition.

Joey, Niche does offer some of their wheels under the "Sport" line, but they are a cast one-pc wheel. Trust me, I have been searching the internet over and over for their wheels. Unless you want to get a full custom set made @ $2000/wheel, then the sport ones are good for now. LOL

What size wheels and offset are you running? Are your tires staggered? I found a good deal on some 20x10's in a wheel but that may be too wide for the front. I want to be able to rotate my tires...I put a lot of miles on my vehicles for work.

20x9 and 20x11.
I don't recall the offsets.

My fronts are 20x10 and rears are 20x11. Not sure the offsets as Forgeline has them fitted perfectly.

The wife parked on the wrong side the other day and I had to move her truck. It sucks, but would require concrete work to fix it. When I pull my 65 in, the header flanges scrape.

What size tires are you running? Your's looks great. Any modifications besides lowering that you had to do to make it all fit?

I've got 20x9/20x11 with a 305 tire with no body or fender modifications at all. The fenderwells on these cars come pre-rolled from the factory. They are really large, so you really need a larger wheel to properly fill the fenderwell to make it look right, in my opinion.

In 19's, you have limited wheel and tire selection which makes it difficult at times to find the look you are going for. 20's really are the only way to go because 18's are just too small and look like matchbox wheels on these big cars. lol.
