OEM RIMS

[WICK MODE 21GT]

I have looked a few places, but didn't see anything, so I am asking. I was wondering if Ford or an aftermarket oem rim company made the factory rims I have on my car in a 20 x 10 ..etc. I am happy with my rims, just want to put 20in in the rear. Thank You

I think these oem wheels only came in 19s. It would probably be kind of difficult to find an aftermarket set of 20s that matched identically.

What's your plan for the rear? 20s might make the rear ride a bit rougher.

The only 10 inch + wide wheels that they made that I know of are off GT500's/350's, Machs, and PP2 GTs.

.....I am happy with my rims, just want to put 20in in the rear......

Why?

First you say you're happy with them, then in the same sentence you state you want to change them.

I wanted to replace my 19in with 20inch just like them

But why?
are you auto-x tracking the car that a shorter stiffer sidewall tire will help your cause.
Because on the street, the shorter sidewall, will ride harsher, and make getting traction even harder as there is no sidewall "give" when launching out of a hole, or at shift points.

19’s are the best looking size on S550. Going up 1” is useless except for that you can tell people you’re on 20’s….and maybe feel better about yourself. In that case, just go 22’s???

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I run 19s in the winter, 20s in the summer, & 17s when racing, & they all look damn good on my car. Also, I have no friends who to tell I have 20s so that would be incorrect, wait, I have no friends......oh wait I have 20s on my car, now I feel better about myself, thanks!

TO me, there have to be a good reason to store another set of wheels and tires. So unless I was going to be pushing the vehicle in a way that a shorter/stiffer sidewall is going to improve my vehicles performance when used in that manner it is a waste of money and space to have a set of 19" and 20" . now if you are tracking it and your drivers skill level is great enough that a jump to the stiffer set up makes sense ,then by all means have at it.
But if it is just street driving you gain nothing unless the style wheel you wanted did not come in the 19". Then I get it, need to look good over driving good. BEEN there grew out of it 30+ years ago.
To me, I don't change things unless it adds to the performance or at least the look. and if I changed wheels because I like the look, the oem smaller size would only get used if I drove the beast in the snow as the "I don't care if I curb these"
Everyone likes different things, but many don't understand they go 3 steps backwards with some of their "up grades" in street ride and performance.

Cool, and if tracking it, ya, or like the look, and they don't offer different sizes, then ya.
But If given the choice in a wheel style I like /want and the car will be mostly street driven and never/rarely pushed to the point a short sidewall would make a difference.
I'd pick the smaller rim and taller side wall, it ride better, more forgiving before you get to the traction razors edge and a pot hole or? is less likely to bend/shatter the hoop.
Some areas roads are better maintained than others, but I have to deal with pot holes and other crap that gets dropped out of a construction workers pick up in the road and other hazards that a more forgiving street set up makes more sense.
I've done the short sidewall big rim thing because I liked the design and they only came in 20 and 22". They didn't stay round for long. It gets costly replacing wheels because another pothole opened up, and you hit it. It wasn't there on the drive into work in the morning, but is now, and on side of road with a shattered hoop or bent and not holding air anymore. Others can have that headache. been there, all set, only way I'll run short sidewall set up is if I need the extra turning performance and can use it.

where i live in Australia the roads are pretty good i mainly put them on for the looks
i cant help myself if you saw some of my hotrods or customs you would see what i mean lol
