Hey all,

I am planning to replace my stock Bullitts with wider replicas by www.wheelreplicas.com. I would still like to be able to rotate my tires so I am thinking about just going 17x9 all the way around but, the 17x9/17x10.5 combo would look awesome. Anyone out there running 17x9 Bullits all the way around? Any pics?

Thanks

Wow, your car is awesome! You must have dumped a trust fund into it! Looks good, and has plenty of balls to back it up.

Rotating tires is for chicks! lol! Firestone is running a special for $99 for lifetime alignment.

I have the deep dish bullets on my black '00 vert. You will go through two rears for each set of fronts, but the fronts last twice as long. Depends on how you look at it.

www.mustangtuning.com sells them for $650 delivered. But, if you call them, ask for Pete or Chris and use my name, and you get them for $575 shipped.

You guys missed my point I think. If you have an "off set" wheel arrangement (wider in the back), you can't rotate them. Just keep them aligned and they will last longer. You can switch them from side to side, though, if you unmount them.
