Hi!

I am new here, but have a question.

I have bought a 94 mustang 5,0 gt coupe.

Right now I am going to buy new wheels for my ride.

The question is:

Can any body tell me if its possible with 22 inch wheels on a 94 gt stang?

Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean but I sure hope your joking. Please don't do that. I don't understand how people put wheels on their cars that they actually have to RAISE the car to get them on and actually make the car have more wheel gap. Just doesn't make sense if your putting bigger wheels put just big enough to fill wheel gap.

And for your questions yes it can be done. But you'll have to go to a shop and do a body lift. Then you'll have to roll the fenders quite a bit and have wheels custom made. For backspacing and lug pattern issues.

no bigger than 17's on a fox IMO

HC_CrAzYHoRsE
03-13-2006, 02:45 PM
well it's an SN95 so 18s looks best on those IMO. i've seen some with 19s that pulled it off pretty good, but i really wouldn't recommend anything bigger than that.

88BlueGT
03-13-2006, 02:46 PM
I've seen some SN-95's w/ 18's that looked pretty good; 19's on a stang is too much; 20's on a stang is just retarted; and 22's on a stang = [sm=bangbang.gif]

If you want to have 22's on something buy a SUV. Like FoxRod said, if you really want to do it you will need some serious fab work done to the body to fit 22's w/ tires. Do yourself a favor and photoshop 22's on your car.

no way you'll fit 22s on your stang without a lift kit and it's going to look like complete sh!t. dont go larger than 18s, that's rediculous.

Black Snake
03-13-2006, 05:05 PM
20s is the biggest you can fit, no way 22's will fit and it will look god aweful.

03-13-2006, 05:20 PM
I had 20s on my 99 for a little while and they barely fit. They rubbed a little when i would turn. I agree, it just doesnt look right. I ended up taking mine off and selling them. Jmo

r.barn
03-13-2006, 05:32 PM
yep, go with 18's, they fill the wheel well nicely and everyone that
has posted pics with them look nice.

No way 22's will fit

dont be mis-lead by the new 05's having 20's and such.
That is a bigger car and will take a bigger wheel.

again, i think you'll be pleased with 18's and say 35 series sidewall on the tires ( 245 / 35 R 18 )

jonnyslick
03-13-2006, 05:36 PM
do any of you think that 18's would look ok on a Fox body!? b/c i was considering 18's for my '92 ...

btw: my receptionist at my office has a black '99 V6 with 20's on it and i think it looks ok .... there's still a lot of fender gap on it and she has no issues with it rubbin'. i told her she needs to put about a 1.5" drop on it to make it look a little better.

RawGtPower
03-13-2006, 05:40 PM
My buddy has a 98 cobra with custome rims that were meant for a viper. Theyre 18's in the front and 19's in the rear, and it looks awesome. But as for 22" rims, theyll make a mustang look silly, but if thats your cup of tea then by all means go ahead and try it out.

18's look good on Fox, you just have to use a low profile tire

pretty sure those are 18's pictured on Black Snake's ride

03-13-2006, 07:03 PM
Body lift?

I was thinking of 22" with 255/35-22 and a lowering kit that would lower the car with 1,5".

I can see that not many of you guys like ie, but has really no one seen or heard about a stang like mine with 22s?

20" is not a problem, that i know.

But I really want 22s!![sm=drooldude.gif]

So come on any one?

I am really stuck here!
I dont want to buy 22s just to find out that they dont fit my car.

91hatchgt
03-13-2006, 07:08 PM
22's don't fit your car.. Plain and simple.. 22's are for Escalades, Excursions, Monte Carlo's, and Impala's... Not a Ford Mustang!

FastLane034
03-13-2006, 07:13 PM
What dont you get Stang Boy? We just said you would have to get a LIFT KIT to fit the wheels in there amongst other things to make them fit. You were thinking about LOWERING IT ontop of that? Dude your wheels would rub your wells it would start a fire. NO, NO ONE here has heard or done 22's on a mustang. If you do put them on there, I will laugh at you because the car will not move.

I have 18's on my Car they fit perfect no rubbing and fills in the wheel well real good. Only downside is that they are heavy, expensive, and you wont be able to lower it much.

that's cool to know ... you're car does look sweet black snake ... i'd like something that i could lower about 1.5" though and not too heavy ... so maybe 17's would be better for me then!?

Black Snake
03-13-2006, 07:38 PM
Yeah you have a bit more options with the 17s, IE: Bigger tires and Go lower on suspention.

But I dont honestly know if im going to have clearance issues lowering it. Havnt tried yet. Im going to work on suspention next after my clutch.

Oh god buy a truck if you want 22's. That would look just ridiculous. I don't think they would fit anyway.

03-13-2006, 08:28 PM
im having trouble picturing this in my head. i think it would be like a foot off the ground. dude there is no way that could look goos. you would be completly killing the whole idea. the idea is to have a mean looking, low to the ground, wide evil looking stance. and youll accomplish none of that with 22in wheels. i have 18's on mine and theyre killer. but i know 19's or bigger would take that away from me. im not gonna give you a hard time over it cause its yours but it wont look right even if they will fit.

Not only do we not like the idea and think it would look totally retarded and gangsta wanna be be, but we have told you multiple times they will not fit. I am sure with enough modifactions (lifted, rolled fenders) they could be made to fit, but that still does not make it a good idea. Do you even realize that the whole huge rim fad on cars is dying out over here, I know your not in the US and that our fads take awhile to drift across to Europe, but I think you should build a taistfull car and stick with 18's.

Good and cheap do not go tegether, esp when you are talking about somthing as important as suspension. Check out Air Ride Technologies, they have kits for nearly every car.

Not true.

You can **gulp** I can't believe I'm saying this. But you can put airbag suspension on your Mustang. [:'(] God I feel naucious thinking about it. Airbag suspension don't cost that much. If you wanna look into those look in like LowRider Magazine if you get it over there or find their website. They have ads for it every other page.

heys man, i have seen a mustang on 22's. It look like a piece of ****. I have 20's on my mustang and i think it look good. My rims do not rub or stick out past the wheel well. I think you should go with the 20's and stand out from the crowd. I thought that what the term customizing meant to be creative in your own way. I look on here and every one has the same ole cobras, welds, bullits, or stockers. most of yall cars look like the same. I will post a pic of my car in a few days.

You don't deserve a Mustang. Sell it and buy a Chevy. You will bend a rim in two days and the car will drive like a big rig.

First of all.... you need to be slapped in your face with the "I fuked up" stick... because you did. Plain and simple. Your car (if thats really yours) looks about as bad as the dog thatis laying splattered on the road that I saw this morning. You may like it, but I can guarantee that 98% of the people on here do not. You are a complete disgrace to mustang owners, and drivers worldwide.

Guys - you have to realize that show cars tend to exaggerate some aspect of their appearance or content. And they play to anaudience that seems to expect the outrageous as only entry level. Otherwise those cars would just be stockers with nice paint. This includes the concept cars that all of the OE manufacturers trot out to the big shows too (ever notice how many of those are presented with wheels 2" or more largerthan what turns up in the showroom?). Meaning that a slightly different standard applies.

At the other extreme as far as a daily driver is concerned you'll find competition cars with barely enough "features" to be street legal at all. Still usable as such, just like a show car could be, but definitely not a primary intention.

Try to separate what you would do yourself from what you see in somebody else's car - there may well be a different intention.

No, I'm not particularly happy with the current trend toward ever-larger wheel diameters. But I can give a number of specific reasons, not just some zero-tech version of "I don't like them". Topic I might start in another thread, maybe. This one has become a bit too hostile.

I thought the whole point of big wheels and large-diameter tires was to REDUCE wheelwell gap . . . .


On the other hand, the battle-at-sea mural on the car in the adjacent space is kind of neat. My camera would be pointed in that direction.
