18's or 20's?
 

I just got a new 05 Gunmetal Mustang V6 coupe and was wondering if 18's or 20's would look better. Do 20's even fit?

RE: 18's or 20's?
 

sure 20"s fit. actially 20s fit really really well.a lot of people on this forum dont like 20"s though. . .

It's like fine art - all about proportion . . .
 

When the wheel size gets anybigger than about half of the hood height or 1/3 of the roof height they overwhelm the rest of the car visually, and distract the eye from seeing the car as a single item. You see two large wheels, and oh, by the way, that's a Mustang in between them.

The flip side is also true (less than about25% of roof height or 3/8 of hood height looks lost).

Go for the proportion, not the number of inches.

20s should fit ive seen a few of them with 20s. if it where my car i would go with 20s but its up to you alot of people are gonna say u are dumb for puting 20s but its your car,what i can tell you about 20s is to be carefull when you drive cuz they are delicate especially if you have a low protire telling you from experience.

Just to add another thought, 9% to maybe 10% of overall length.

18s for sure. 20s look nice on a Rolls Royce or a Mercedes, not a mustang

I have seen a couple of Stangs with 20s that I didn't mind, but generally, the 18s look much better to me. I agree that it is a proportional thing. I think the 20s on some SUVs look fine, but 22 or 24 look dumb. From a performance perspective, the 18 win. Style is a little more subjective.
