I am going to order 18x9 and 18x10 bullitts with 265/295 35 18 tires. I am pretty sure they will fit, just wondering if anyone had bad experience with this. Which lowering kit would be good to go with this setup? Just want to go an inch or inch and a half. And have a nice ride still. Thanks for any input. Going on a 03 GT.

Pics of 18" bullitts please

I think your tire sizing is perfect, I have 285's on the 10" rims and they are not wide enough, I am having the Eibach pro springs installed this week, from what I have read they drop the car as much as 1-1/2" all the way around, not over stiff or too low.

18X9's all around with 275/35/18's as well. The one issue I had was when I went with a Steeda front tubular swaybar. The Steeda unit is larger in diameter than stock. During a full left turn the 18X9 wheel made contact with the swaybar right at the very edge of the wheel. Had to use 1/4 inch wheel spacers to correct for it. Other than that with my drop and before the swaybar I had no problems.
