19" wheels on an '05 mustang?

Guys,
I'm thinking of putting 19"x9" wheels on my '05, with 1" of rubber... Total
will be 20", which should be the same as my 17's with 3" of rubber... Anyone
know if they will fit well?

Also, do I need a brake upgrade at that point?

Wheels separated from the road by only 1" of rubber sounds painful.
'Course, I'm used to 75 series tires... Nice and cushy!

Im more interested in the 9" width.. but it seems the 19s are the smallest i
can get in that width. Without the 9", the 'eleanor' look just doesnt look
right:-/

Dude, go 18" max with a thicker rubber. You'll be glad you did.
