Those would look good in 18"

20s look great. These are big cars.

Not as big as a b-body impala.

18s are as big as I like on Wbodies, now when you're getting into the old land cruise liners then 22s work on them.

Excuse me but erm. Damn the wheels for that matter, you got an 03... Return to sender immediately!! Trust me

lol...thats just your luck, homey. In 6 years, Ive had to replace the bcm and thats it.

I've had others tell me of their 03 issues. I didn't base this opinion on my bad luck

theres issues with 03s?

Every year of every type of car has issues. For some reason, my cars just work. (Except for the STS that I had for 6 months and returned the damn thing) I've had three prixs: I had a 97 for 4 years only had to replace the CKP sensor. Then someone put me into a wall, totaling it. A 98 for 3 years that had nothing go wrong with it. Ramped it into a swamp, totaling it. And my 03 for 6 years, replace the bcm. Also, put 325k on my first F250 and 230k on my current one, neither have been to the shop. Though, I prolly just jinxed myself.

yay mod ford plugs

All I know is that when you run those 22"s make sure it has no lip on the rims and roll the fenders. i sold my 20"s after about 3 weeks of having them on because of rubbing issues. I rolled the fenders and it helped a bit but the choice of rim has a huge say on how it will sit on the car and how the car will ride with it. I know a guy that has done 22" wheels on a 00 GP and he was able to make it work.

Lip has nothing to do with it. It's all about the width, offset, and tire size.

isnt offset a big part of the rubbing part?

Yes, very.

yay i remember something

I've seen 20's done tastefully and not tastefully. Try rolling the fenders like others have said.
