Default 20" wheels on '05 4.0 mustang?

I am looking into getting wheels for my '05 mustang. It is my daily driver, so would putting 20s on it be a wise choice or should I go with 18s. I am not going to upgrade the brakes because I will be only running the wheels in the summer.

Subsequently, the car will be driven in the winter. I have 15" factory wheels from my old 2000 3.8 with snow tires on them. Will they cause a problem from switching from a stock 16" wheel to the 15" wheels for the winter?

Hello welcome to this great site and great group of people. If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything just let me know i will gladly assist you. Also if you have time check out some of my photos in my gallery and tell me what ya think. they 20's will be heavier so more weight means less take off. more weight also less mpg

hello welcome to the forum. my opinion 20's are to big and as already stated heavier, if you do decide on 20's changing the brakes would probrably be a wise idea.

The 20's will fit, I have them on my 05 GT. The others are right about weight, but for the brake side of things...going with a smaller wheel than what you started with will not fit. I tried the 16's on my GT but they didn't make it over the stock brakes. This means you will need larger wheels with your winter tires.
