Width and offset choices would be similar to using smaller diameter wheels.
A few tire manufacturers are now offering 25 series 20" diameter tires, so there are some available around 26" overall diameter in 255 - 285 widths ... that would fit fine on a Fox body rear.
As for how it will look, I think of what my buddy Stu likes to say ... "It's your car, you can do what you like with it. Hell, you can even pour gasoline on it and set it on fire, it's your car!!" :
cheers

"No, We just know what would look stupid......and it will."
good thing this is a fun loving forum. instead i have to deal with idiots. i have been with cars for a very long time and especially with custom cars. 18 front and 20's rear will not cause problems like someone else said you just get different sidewall. thanks you for the other people that think it would look good. as for ithink it was dech, off. you do your thing and ill do mine. not everyone wants "cobra" wheels on there car like every other mustang.(no offence to the cobra wheel owners) but me personally like to be different. maybe you should email chip foose and tell him his cars are stupid, becasue im sure someone did before he started modifying old muscle cars and putting 22's on them. i think its done good for him...no???

^Lmao@krzpny!! 
Hey man, make sure and post pics when she's done, I think it'll look good, but better with all 20s or maybe 19s/20s, I agree that old 'cudas look sweet with big 'n littles but I really think that's because of the body line of the car-the body line is raised in the back so it looks good, whereas a fox is pretty much straight and flat. I'm not trying to discourage you, but maybe have white_snake or someone photoshop it before you spend the money on the wheels-just in case, good luck. :thumb1:

well thanks you for the confidence and what not. i do apoligize to dech for earlier i just hate haters that try to discourage everyone. i know what your saying about the bodylines as well with it being straight on foxbodies. i would go 19's on the front but i dont think it will clear when turning but who knows. as for the cost of things i work at a performance shop so if it doesnt work then i just throw them on the shelf lol.....also its just a thought of putting them on the car i still dont know. the wheels would be tsw thruxtons. i had them on my 2000 gt but 18x9.5 and they look deadly. huge deepish and on the 20x10's they have a 5" dish on them. might not be everyones cup of tea but i love the deep dish look.
