So I am thinking about going back to 18" or 19" wheels - the 20" look great , but are they too big ?

I ask what your thoughts are ?

I don't think I can go with the oem sidewall , my car has the Steeda lowering springs and ford racing suspension set up.
I'm gonna look into it a little more this week.
Look the picture with the switchyard in the back I'm a nuc guy. My current project is writing technical procedures TN's for changing out 25 230kv switchyard breakers^^^^Yes, I agree. I would never be able to use a oem height sidewall on my car currently, I would have to raise the Eibach coilovers back up to even think about it. Currently I have the front coilovers down as far as they will adjust (but I also have a 275 tire on the front). It would require a shorter tire to lower the nose any more, but I don't want to go backwards (down size tire) in the front end and lose precious grip when pressing my heavy nosed GT500 into a turn. The rear can be lower further, but at the level it is currently at, it seems to work well with the 325 rear tires and I have no contact issues..............

how wide are your rear wheels? 11" 12"?? what size wheels front and rear and what size tires, looks great!
Hmm, this has me thinking should I not have stocker widend to 11" and just go with 11.5 or even 12" myself...I had planned to go 11" and run a 315/35/18 that comes out to 26.8 diameter with toys proxxes radial drag tire. But those 325's look amazing on the rear...wider is always better imo.^^^Thanks.
Yes, the power substation background is kind of a unique background and looks pretty cool IMHO. I had looked at many backgrounds for my car, plants, buildings, palm trees etc, The power substation had a "Man" look to it in comparison to the other backgrounds. I train switching yard that is local to me is also a background that I may use in a future photo shoot.
My rear Alcoa's are 12" with the 325's. The fronts are 10" with 275's and were originally on the rear when it came back from Shelby. I bought a spare pair of Alcoa's for the rear wheel widening project. Getting those little 255's on a 9" rim off of the front and replacing them with 275's on 10" was one of the best handling performance upgrades I did on my heavy nosed GT500.
There are no mods to my car for the 12" rear install, no bump stop bracket removal, etc. The only thing I had to do is remove the rear brake ducts that Shelby installed as part of the Super Snake upgrade and also slip off the Eibach rear shock dust boots, it was either slip them off or cut them, they could not stay in place with that wide of a rear tire/wheel combo.
