I am just placing a post out there is see how my SHO will look when getting new wheels. I am looking at the Giovanna Monza machined Black with Chrome Lip. These wheel comes in different sizes, 20”x8.5”, 20”x10” or 22”x11” I have the tire sizes if I would pick the set of 20”x8.5” & 10” and the tire sizes if I would pick 20”x8.5 and the 22”x11”

My question would be how would the SHO look if I would get the 20” and 22” wheels? I know how the mustang has different size wheels but I know that car is rear wheel drive, I did the research and found tires that match the 245/45-20 and have the same circumference or would be off about 01%.

Just getting people’s opinion on the different sizes of wheels

Thank you

The Mustang does not have offset size wheels from the dealership. With AWD on the Taurus, I would highly advise against getting different size wheels.

I'm looking at doing a staggered setup on my Flex - same as the SHO. No reason not to run a staggered setup provided you are the same OD on the tires.
I'd love to see a stanced SHO, I plan to do my Flex once I get done with the go fast bits :)

and here is the tire stats I found that is just like the 245/45-20
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile
245/45-20 4.3in 14.3in 28.7in 90.1in 703
315/35-20 4.3in 14.3in 28.7in 90.1in 703
275/40-20 4.3in 14.3in 28.7in 90.0in 704

255/35-22 3.5in 14.5in 29.0in 91.2in 695
255/45-20 4.5in 14.5in 29.0in 91.2in 695



the stock tire is about 9.5" wide the 275 is about 10.5" wide and the 315 is 12.3" wide
the 20ans 22's are about 10.4 wide

I know one thing I will post photos when I am done with me car. I am doing a lot of stuff to it.
