Hey guys, I have a couple questions about the deep dish bullitt wheels, I am seriously considering them and I was just wondering... 1.) are there any drawbacks to getting such a wide rim?? 2.) Does the car feel sluggish with such a big combo in the back? and 3.) What are my options for tires? I know 315's fit, but what else?? I want to stick with my 17's so I think I will be getting the 17x9 and the 17x10.5 correct?? Thanks alot everyone!! :cheers:


edit: Also, when you order the 17x9 and 17x10.5, only the back 2 have the dish on them right? and the front two wheels are normal?
 
ya the rears are the only ones with dish........

you can run a 275 on em, or a 295, but 315 looks the best.

i doubt anyone thinks it feels sluggish, just add power if it does.

im already running stock bullits, but i cant seem to finda anyone that will sell JUST the rears, and im having trouble finding ones that seem to match the ones i have, thye are more silver looking thatn charcoal..


anyone else?
 
First of all, you have to have aftermarket LCA's because you need to remove the quad shocks. 315's look the best, but 285/295 would probably be allright. I would think 275's would look too small on the 10.5's. Also the rear tires will almost definitely rub on the fenderwell but you can have that fixed at a body shop.
The 17x9's are about a 1/2" to 3/4" deeper than stock bullitts.
As for power, I didn't really notice any loss of power. Maybe a little, but it's not really noticable. Oh, and traction with the 315's is :nice::nice:
