help with wheels

[MAGS1]

Ahh ok 20 / 10 all round then I guess that would be 275/35 all round. It currently has 19 / 9.5 255/40, 19 /10.5 275 /40, on 25mm spacers. I guess the new setup for square would be 20 / 10 275 /35 all round and drop the spacers

For 20x10, go with 285/35. That’s what I run

I might go with bronze like I have on the rangey I think goes quite well with the blue

I think ive found them gonna go with set of 20 of these with 4s all round me thinks as they are gloss black inside then machine diamond cut with smoked gloss finish on the outside so you can still see the style

(Sigh) Wheel shopping ...

Please take your time, even though it is exhausting. You get one good shot at this and you don't want any buyer's remorse.

First, be very sure you want 20" over 19". Compare prices on wheels and tires. Even availability. Many of us (me included) think the 20's have that Hot Wheels look.

Next, if you start to research and learn all about wheel fitment, you can always use this calculator to model sizes. Note that you want the overall tire diameter to be around 700mm.

Finally, color is also an important one-shot choice. I agree about black wheels. They just don't "pop" as much as you think. I used to own the pictured wheel, Enkei TY-5, for about $300 each. They had mirror cut faces and a tinted clear topcoat. They looked just black most of the time. Only in the sunlight at the perfect angle could you see the mirror faces.

I would also check out the Vendors on here that know the correct offsets, sizes and recommended tire sizes to match. Project6GR website is a really good tool

OP, here’s my 20x10 with 285/35 all the way around. Stock, non-magneride suspension

20’s will be heavier than 19’s. 20’s fill the wheel gap a little better. All depends on what you’re looking for.

Just my opinion but you could lean further into the GT350 look you've got going on and get some Project 6GR 7s in a squared 19" / 30 offset fitment, and run 285/35 PS4S or Conti SC7s.

I'd avoid 20" for a couple of reasons but that's just me.

Also agree with @MidwayJ that black wheels would look better with Grabber Blue, like on @MAGS1 car but Anthracite could be an option.

Yes those might but the OE carbon wheels but they'll look almost identical!

Mine is not the same color as yours but I do think bronze wheels look good on mustangs. Then again I may be a bit biased.

Wheels are 20x10 and 20x11s.

Be aware most 20” will be heavier and also compromise ride unless you go fully forged.

Not necessarily. My Halibrands (not forged) with tires in a larger overall size than the stock Ford wheels still came in about 5 lbs lighter. I'm also perfectly happy with the ride quality. I suspect the MagneRide shocks help a bit. The thing that helped me decide to go to 20" wheels is that there are a lot more tire choices in that size. Not easy to find a 19" all season performance tire over P275.

Same here, my 20’s are lighter than OEM 18’s but only by a few pounds. They’re heavier than other flow formed 19” wheels though. The cast OEM wheels are heavy

Yea sod it black does sort of seem to look like its meant to be, ive got a lot of ai testing to do

 

[blankman]

Gotta say I love the look of gloss black wheels on certain cars. My car is a darker blue but I absolutely love them, and I get a lot of compliments during the daytime when you can see them.

 

[5.0_Lojos]

I cannot decide what to replace the stock 19s with. im definitely going to go 20" either gloss black like they are or maybe a carbon colour, what do you think, love to see what others have opted for?

Black is hard to beat. Gives it a nice clean look, fills in the wheel well (illusion wise) and God forbid any curb rash happens all you need is some black touch up paint

 

[neucleator]

Yea im going for black im going to send off the calipers to be power coated then re do thr brembo logos on the front so ill get some fairly open black ones with a fresh set of discs and freshly coated calipers which will help make that area pop
