Increasing the wheel size doesn't always translate into drastic overall height increases. As far as loss of power, yeah, I thought of that...:tup

These particular Cragars are 20's.
9 inch front and 10 inch rears.

I was looking for 18" rims ideally as they are lighter than 20's usually and the 18" tires are cheaper than the 20".

But............I cannot find a set of 18's as cheap as I can get these brand new Cragars so the extra cost for the rubber will be offset on the cheaper rim cost.

Still on the fence and still looking..........

That is true.
The height difference on these (height including tire) is next to nothing compared to my stockers.
Although visually you will see much more rim and much less sidewall by going from my 17" stockers to these 20" rims.

Seen a Mustang today with 20s, first i've noticed at least(22s FTL, seen those two weeks ago). his was more bling bling then street appearing, but the size didn't make the car look bad(as I original thought it may).

If your getting a good deal, and you like the look... Go for them, and then post pics:tup

Got the Cragars in a week ago.
Really impressed with the quality of them.
I have had many sets of aftermarket rims over the years and these are by far the best quality. The chrome is awesome on these. The center caps are real metal and bolt on so they cannot be stolen.

Got 9's for the front and 10's for the rear.
Now I have to get TPMS sensors and tires.........but........will have to wait until the exchange gets better.lol

Finally got a good deal on the tires for the Cragars.
Got a set of Yokohamas.
255/35/20 for the front & 255/30/20 for the rear.

Got them from Discount Tire in the US. off their ebay site.
I shopped around Canada for a set and they either didn't have the sizes or wanted considerably more for them and then shipping was extra on top of that.

Also got the TPMS sensors a month ago. Just need to buy the straps for the sensors and then I can mount the tires.

I have always been a fan of Cragars :tup I like the new style but I also love the original style on certian cars :)
