I am looking at a set of factory Ford Bullitt wheels 16" for my 2002 Mustang. I was wondering if the wheels will bolt right on or will I need to buy spacers for the wheels to fit properly? Wasn't sure about if the wheels were dished out the same and would need spacers?
Thanks,

are you talking the 17" 2001 type bullitts or the old school Torque thrust D's?

I was talking about the 17" OEM Bullitt takeoffs that came out on Mustangs. A local guy sells as factory take offs with new tires for 695.00. He said he is expecting some in in a few weeks? Not sure where he gets them. I was wondering if they would bolt right on or if I needed spacers? Thanks

...and then rub on the anti-sway bar on one side and the fender on the other.

Still look cool!

I have 235/55/R17's that end up about three inches taller than the 205/50/R16's that were on it before.

Really fill the wheel well nicely.

Teaching the daughter to drive in the 2001 with 17" Bullit's off a 2007.

The tires drag with the steering locked in either direction.

What kind of spacer do I need to get the correct offset?

Thanks!

I have Bullitt wheels on my '01, and they bolt right on. No rubbing at full lock as long as you keep the stock tire size. I have BBK springs that lower the car 1", too.
