17x10.5 or 18x10 ?

fstylw03 · May 25, 2004

thinking of putting deep dish bullitt wheels on my mach 1. the question is what will be the best look for the car 17x9 and 17x10.5 or 18x9 and 18x10? if I go with the 17s it will get 315s, not sure what size on the 18s, but dont want it to look to low profile(ricey). Any body have pics or suggestions?

Personally i would go with 18s. If i had money to blow i would get 19x10 in the back and 18x9.5 in the front. To bad i'm not balling like that.

look = 18x10
performance = 17x10.5 (not big difference tho)

the 17's are wider so those should be just as heavy.. AFS 18x9's weigh less than their 17x9's.. Owner informed me of that.

My 17x10.5s weigh 26 pounds. 18x10s weigh in at 29 pounds. That 3 pounds doesn't really make a difference to me. If the price of 18 inch tires wasn't so expensive, I'd have 18 inch deep dish wheels instead of 17s.

Go with the 17"s tires are going to be that much more expensive with 18"s.

Dunno whos this is but it was a mach 1 at the texas bullitt/mach 1 shootout I went to...same wheels as I have but in chrizom 17x9 front 17x10.5 rear.

And a couple of pix of mine.

I think the spokes on the 18's start to look a little funny is the main reason I didnt go with the 18's...also the tire expense as mentioned before.

Hey sig1029, what brand/size rear tires do you have on that Bullitt?

sig1029 · May 26, 2004

Nitto 555 275/40 in front

Nitto 555r 315/35 rear (So more like 295 or so b/c the 555r's are overrated)

Tire make and sizes please.

DOH!!! Nevermind you already did. I'm such an idiot sometimes.

well guys I went with the 18s because I was informed they were out of the 17x10.5s for another couple of months. after seeing that blue mach however I'm kind of regreting it now I just need to know what size tires to run? hopefully they will look ok.

go with 295/35/18 or if you want to be closer to stock diameter, 315/30/18
