looking to run slicks at the track--know they dont make 20 or 19 in bias tires. can anyone suggest an addaptible wheel and slick. Ford has a 2012 18 x 9.5 rim that will fit my 2014--but is a $600+ wheel. thinking/hoping I can find a much better deal

Just get an OEM 2007 - 2010 GT500 rim for the wheels. Unless you're trying to do a match set in which case nothing will fit front and rear

15's are really for slicks. I wouldn't bother unless you plan on running slicks and then you need some serious suspension mods.

ok, think I answered my own question--you meant mod of the brakes. I found this 18 that will fit Black S197 Mustang Saleen Style Wheel 18x10 (05-14 All)
