i been thinking of 18s up front and 20s in the rears so i dont have to worry about alot of rubbing issues up front. so to fit 20s in the rear what rim would be the best.. 20+9 ? 20+10? 20+8? what size tire? what type of shocks/springs for the rear? a little rubbing doesnt matter but it would be nice to have a little tuck in the rear.

WELL......... I HAD 20X8.5 BULLITTS AND SOME OTHER NON MUSTANGS RIMS ON MY COUPE. IM USING 96 SPINDLES AND REAR END I HAD TO ROLL THE REAR BUT THATS COMMON AND I CAN RIDE 4 PEOPLE NO PROBLEM WITH RUBBING ISSUES AND THAT REAR IS 3/4" WIDER AND I STILL HAV THE QUAD SHOCKS INTACT. AS FAR AS THE FRON I HAV "NO" RUBBING TURNING ISSUES AT ALL WITH THE 20"'S UP FRONT AND THATS FROM FULL TURN TO TURN. DONT HAV ANY CLOSE UP PICS OF THE CAR WEN IT HAD 20"'S SORRY. HOPE THIS HELPS [patriot]

ha i dont think so i think it depends on what 20 you put on ypur car do what you think is right not what people say JMO i got 20x9 all the way around and they look killer .it just depends on what rims and tire size but you will not fit 20x10 in the back unless you do alot of stuff
