    no dubs on a stang. stick with 18's sell the 20's if you got them buy some nice 18's buy the springs and lowering kit and save the rest of the money for your tires.

    no offense but those rims look fuckin ridiculous, its a sports car not a cadillac. Nothing over 18'' looks good on 04 and under mustangs....nothing.

    i agree with the others.. is it a trick question? why would u wanna lower it if u have 20's, its like either get 18's and lower it, or get 20's and stay stock suspension.. and yes it will ride like crap... but its all depending on what u want... and im not too sure, u should call ur local tire place, as in discount tire co, or somewhere... they will let u know if itwill rub or not, hope this helped....

    I give you, an 05 on dubs (Boyd Coddington Smoothies) lowered with HR Springs. Belongs to a chic named Marie. She's pretty cool, she owns that, an 03 Cobra which she is trying to sell and a Yamaha R1.

    yes you can lower it. as for the ride... i don't think anyone buys a mustang for the ride, but right now mine's as butter as it was with the 17's

    I've only ever seen a couple of mustangs with 20" rims that actually looked good. The blinging ones are just plain scary though.
