bullitt rims question

[swl987]

i think the stock bullitts are 8" wide. i'm satisfied with the fronts but i want to fill out the rear wheel wells. are the 9" enough or do you need the 10 and a half inch. does anybody make the exact looking rims just wider? or does the paint not match factory? my car is mineral gray so i want to keep the same color rims. also does anybody have 18" in the rear and 17" in the front? does it look stupid?

These are really close, they are the 10.5" for the rear

Yup.. need 10.5 in the rears to fill the wheelwells.

yo have an 02 so you have to buy all new wheels because they dont make ones that match the wheels on the 02gt. they match the 03 04 color wheels there darker

Not at all, it's what I'm planning to go with.

I have seen aftermarket '01-'02 bullitt wheels. I'm not sure if mustangtuning has the lighter shade wheels....just make sure you get the right ones if you just do the rears because the shades are noticeably different.

stock colored wheels are slightly yellowish compared to the ones mustang tuning sells.
I saw a car with 17s on the front/18s on the back in a magazine. It looked alright alright but would probably look just as good with 18s on the front.

I have 18x10s in the rear with a 295 tire. I like the way it turned out. I would feel compelled to put 315 tire on the back if I went any wider than just 10.

 

[SICK98STANG]

Yeah I'm running a similiar set up 18x9's in the front and 18x10's in the back, and I think it looks great.

 

[csledd]

stock size is 17x8.. you can get 17x9 but i would totally go for 17x10.5 if you stick with 17's.. they are sexy as hell. run some 315 tires on it and you'll look like a beast from the back lol

I was never a fan of deep dish Bullitts. I went with 17x9s in the rear with 285/40-17 Nitto 555s.

So if I were to purchase them for my 01 the color would be off? Also would you need to get the center caps or do the stock ones fit?

01-02 bullitts will not match at all. They are lighter than the 03-04 bullitts that the aftermarkets were modeled after.

Also, the polish on the lip of the factory bullitts is nowhere as bright as aftermarkets.

Finally, the centers of the wheels are physically different in the part where the lugs are.
