18" 2010 Mustang wheels. Any bigger is just fukn retarded.

you can squeeze 20s on there, but you'll require spacers for the wheels. I think 22s can be had with some wheel well mods and suspension add-ons from someone like donkkings.com Any more than that and you'll require serious mods to sheet metal and suspension. Just know that rollin 22s will keep your rubber so thin that you'll have a hard time with pot holes.

Thanks for the replies guys. I would have never thought to look at OEM wheels from another company per say.

Slymer, don't worry, every female I meet (including Daisy) enjoys the thin rubber I wear :) LOL

I'd be careful on the size of the rims that you put on such a heavy car. The tires are part of the suspension, and the more rim that you have the less give your suspension will have.

hence the guys you see ... crawling... ever... sooooo... slowly... over speed bumps. heh. got one with a lincoln ls rolling 22s (I think) that goes super slow over the speed bumps.

I kinda just plow through them in my old 88 with it's stock style tires.
