im going to put up 20" x 8.5 uniform and tire is 255/35/20. What are the pros and cons, and suggestions to correct the cons, thnx!

Well the wheels will look nice, but your ride is going to be a good bit rougher. New shocks and struts would help maintain the stock ride quality. It shouldn't be too bad though.

You could install a set of GT takeoff dampeners.

pros - looks good

cons - more unsprung weight = slower, waaay more expensive tire size, rougher ride.

BE CAREFULL!!!!!!!!

Ok i have a 05 v6 mustang. about 6 months ago i got 20 in rims put on. 9 in wide on the front and 10.5 in wide in the back. the front tires are about to BLOW! the reason is the the 9 in wide tires rub against the inside of the wheel well everytime i turn. the inside edge of the tire has rubbed past the rubber and now the wire frame of the tire is exposed on both of my front tires. the doosy about this is that the center of the tire has so much rubber on it that when i get new ones it is going to be a waste because the middle of the tire was perfectly good but the inside edge is gone. so watch out for that!

well the whole wheel/tire package is going to be about an inch and a half wider. What is the offest on the rims you are looking at? Thats going to effect turning radius a bit and could cause some rubbing, all depending on the offset you get.

Offsets are +35 its 20X8.5 tire is 255/35/20, it fits good no rubbing while turning, ride is a lil rough not that bad, and im planning to replace the coil springs with eibach pro kit. dont shoot me its vette's rims LOL! pic in my profile. thnx for suggestions and concerns!
