why not 20" on the front?

[huggytree]

just wondering why 19"s on front and 20"s on rear?

what does that extra inch of rubber on the front do?

Man you post alot of strange threads.
Nobody will know the answer to your question besides Ford.
I do not beleive any Mustang from Ford (not tuner or aftermarket) has had 20" in the front.

The 20's cost more to produce.

The 19's also provide for slightly quicker turn-in, due to being lighter weight, and smaller diameter.

Gives it a "raked" look.

I do not understand why Ford decided to go with the 19/20 combo and then use tires that made the diameters almost the same, front to rear. Any weight savings would be negated by the heavier tire.
Maybe they just wanted more sidewall on the fronts?

Staggered look?

Thank you!!!

i just found it odd...

many of my questions are because i own a SRT Challenger too....im comparing both of them and wondering why Dodge has 20"'s all around and the Ford doesnt

i figured it had something to do with cornering....and the Rake may have a bit to do with it too....

i know the camaro has different width rims front to back, but think they have 20's all around...

i like to ask the odd questions.....im sitting here reading the 200 posts this week about different mufflers and would like to learn something more than just what different exhaust pipes my car can have......lets expand the subject base!!!

thanks for the responses.....
