just join photobucket some pics of my convertible some with 20'' rims and let me say koni shocks and 20'' rims don't go well together i lasted 9 months with these then put my welds back on. have own this car for 21 years has been on the road for 12 years.John Greene did the conversion back in 1988 so in other words it drives great. stock 289 factory manual 3.5 diff gears and custom pearl glasurit pearl red paint job has been painted 13 years i put some more up of the restoration later

you can but there's a bit of mucking about. it's better if you can run 18'' on the front. go to the koya website they call koys khan wheels

No you want one of those Opcon auto rotors like Dave Johnson has on that, 383 in his E type they make lotts of air. Dave does have a B&M low line blower there. Remember Fatted, Huffed Hatted

I love big wheels on these classic cars , but don't get me wrong a mustang done up completely original looks great to , if i had the space i would love to have both styles, but i don't and the restomod comes first especialy when the whole gang wanted that look to , the 20's look great my concern with going that big was ride comfort , its harsh enough with 18's

trust me they ride hard there's no give in the sidewall and i'm running fully adjustable koni shocks all way round and sitting that low that's why i only lasted 9 months with them on, there are purely for looks and nothing else
