18" Bullitt wheels on a non GT

Caliper clearance is the issue with some ford 18" wheels. The GT uses a larger front rotor so the caliper mounting bracket is not the same as the V6. I've seen posts with problems and others where they work fine. The aftermarket 18's don't seem to be a problem.

if it fits a gt there should be no clearance problems on a v6. just like gray said gt uses a bigger rotor the calipers are the same except the bracket that brings it foward a slight bit to accommodate the bigger rotor.

The factory 18 inch bullitts may or may not fit...

Hey Mustang 2222,

I had the same issue. My wife has an 06 pony package vert and I ran across a set of the Factory Ford polished 18's with tires at a price too good to pass up. Everyone said that they would not fit. I never listen, so I went ahead and got them. They work just fine on our car. I will tell you where the problem is. It is with the caliper bracket and the center hub of the wheel. I have VERY[/B] little clearance (the thickness of a business card) between the base of the wheel spokes and the caliper bracket. The bracket could be smoothed out a bit to provide another 1/32 of an inch or so but I have had them on there for 3 weeks now without issue. I imagine that, due to production tolerances, if the caliper bracket were a little thicker they WOULD NOT fit! It looks sick though with the brakes right against the back of the spokes! As was mentioned in earlier postings, the aftermarket 18" wheels do not have the same problem from what I understand. Hope that helps! Good Luck

When I did this, I had to install a spacer on the front wheels. After that no problem.
