20" vs 17"

[catip1022]

I'm looking to buy new wheels for my 01 cobra. It has stock 17s now but i'm thinking about going with a 20". Does anyone have 20s on your car that can post a pic so I can see how it looks?

Thanks

Most opinions will be that 20s are too big for this body style.
It sure will hinder performance slightly.

OP please sell car and get a 80s model caprice, if not check American Muscle or OE wheels. I doubt they carry 20s for new edge's though.

Thanks

20s look good to me.... go for it

Too big for sure. At the very very most 19's in the back but thats pushing it. Stick with 18's.

Wow! That car looks awesome. What wheels are those and what profile are those tires?

The wheels are Boyd Coddington.... Guessing on the tire size i'd say 255/35/20 on the front, and 285/30/20 on the rear.... that just a guess tho

That car is dropped, but just curious how can people consider a wheel too big when it requires no modification and still leaves a considerable amount of wheel gap

 

[STAMPEDE3]

Cause it looks out of place compared to the size of the car body maybe?

Cause it makes the tires look like rubber bands?

Cause it hurts performance on a performance car?

Cause it makes the brakes look tiny?

Cause I think they look too big?

It is called an opinion.
Just happens that 90% of mustang fans share the same opinion as me.

20's on a New Edge? Sell it and get a Big old model Chevy like suggested.

lol @ thinking 20s are so huge.... when alot of performance cars are coming OEM with them...

I respect the car spectrum all the way from lowriders on the 13s to the cars on 32s... and believe all of them have pros and cons...

people rag on the rim size and how it hurt performance, but that usually comes from people that have never experienced them. Everything a Full tank of gas to air conditioning hurt performance. and not many people i know of are taking there cars on tracks or road courses... i am all for riding a car of unnecessary wheel gap...and to me it give the car curb appeal

^^ Newer cars are built for them, our cars are not. Get a box chevy put a lift kit on it and set it up on 24's ghetto fab.

 

[GoingHaam]

for argument sake, what equates to being "built for them"...

 

[clbailey]

I hate the way my lo pros ride on my Camaro compared to the original wheels and tires that came on it. Every bump I cringe, and I only have 275 40 17s. I can imagine worse with a bigger wheel. Keep that big rim crap on the box cars of the 80s and Hummers of today. There's a guy on base with 32"s... the total package is horrendous. He wasted a 30k re enlistment bonus on that stupid half done POS H2.

I agree 20 inch wheels always look so amazingly bad on a New Edge Mustang if done right.....wait what......?

 

[GoingHaam]

its like a chick wearing high heels, yeah her feet may hurt but she looks good wearing them.....

its no different from blowing 30k in performance enhancement and parking the car in the garage.. it all depreciates and is worth no where near what you paid for it...

i understand the big rim thing... its all about getting attention... wither you hate it or love it... you are going to look!!! its going to grab your attention.. then mission accomplished...


Termi on 20s and i love it!
