I just got back from checking out a 5th Gen at the local dealer (I saw it as I drove by and had to stop). IMHO I think it's a good looking car except for the 20 in Dubs, but other than that I like it.
Sitting in the car with the stock seats there is not enough clearance for me with a helmet and get the proper seating position. Note I have a long mid section and short arms and legs. I'm 6 ft with a 30 in in-seem. It was a V6 car with 20 in wheels, 245's on the front and 275's on the rear. The rear fender lip is already rolled and there appears to be ample clearance to go wider on the rear tires depending how much track change there is with bump movement. The front is another story. If one keeps the 20 in dubs any wider wheel will interfere with the spring perch on the strut. Maybe if a more reasonable 18 inch wheel was used one could go wider, but I don't know if an 18 wheel will clear the 14 inch brembo's on the V8 model. |

The 20's arent that bad. I mean its a big car and would look extremely awkward with anything smaller. They would have the same issue as every Mustang since 99, that being the wheel wells are too big for the wheels, this being fixed when they gave the Cobra R 18's. The cars look a lot better with the optional 21's, and I have a good feeling that 22's on this car will be the equivalent of 18's on the 4th gen.
