18x9 bullits on the front of an 85 with coilovers

[Dean85GT]

I have the chance to trade my 99 cobras for a set of Deep Dish bullitt wheels. The fronts are 18x9 and the backs are 18x10.5. I have a UPR coilover and K member setup in the front and I am wondering if anyone else has any experience running a big tire with coilovers.

I really want bullitt wheels and I think they would look awesome but Ive gotta make em fit half decent.

Heres the front of my car (no motor, body panels just sitting there not lined up)

The front is questionable with coilovers. I assume you have 17x8s right now? How much room do you have when the car is compressed? That is the ultimate question. The wheels should sit in a similar location as the ones on there now.

The rears are 18x10 and with fox length axles, rolled lips and no quads they fit perfect on my car!

Its tight behind the tire thats for sure. I probably have half an inch or so. Im thinkin it wont work, especially since if I put a spacer on the front it will cause the tires to stick out

I agree if you have that little room...

I think they sell 18x8s now though? If thats the case, sell the 9s and grab some 8s? Might cost a little more but would look great!
