I have 16 inch wheels now on my stang and would like to put on a set of bullits but i want to stick with the 16s. has anyone seen 16" bullitts? and i want the rears to be offset an inch more then the fronts. tired of the back looking narrower then the front.

I like the little taller tires. it helps for hooking up. the more sidewall the better windup and the ride is alittle quieter.

No offense man but I had 16" wheels on my 99 and it looked bad. Ride quality might be slightly better but steering response sucked. If you're so concerned about hooking up, get 9" wide 17" wheels and throw some 275 Nitto DR or BFG KD on 'em. Should do the trick

go with 17x9 up front and 17x10.5 in the back...check out eBay for a good selection..that's where I'll be getting my black deep dish rims when I can afford it...16s are way too small and look so stock V6ish...my $0.02.
