Has anyone put a set of bullet wheels from a 1999-2004 Mustang on their new 2005 Mustang?
If so, how did they fit? Can you post pics?
I am trying to order a set of black bullets with the offset recommended for the 2005 but they are on backorder. I can get the same wheels but with the 1999-2004 Mustang offset.
Thanks in advance,

Hec

The Bullitt wheels for the 2005 Mustang GTs are 45mm back space while the same Bullitts for the 1999-2004 are 30mm.
If you get the 30mm Bullitts, they'll will fit, but stick out a little.
Some people like it and some don't.
I just got my silver Bullitts (45mm) installed and they look great.

That's strange. There are apparently different spacings.
The one I saw was the Ford Racing Bullitts listed in Tire Rack.
They have them listed at 30mm back space.
