2002 GT with the factory Bullitt wheels. Lets say I wanted to buy a wider set of rear wheels to fill up the wheel well, but keep the front wheels and tires stock. I've seen Bullitt replicas in 9" width as well as 10.5".

Questions:

1- Will the replica color match the factory color exactly? I think the factory color is called Anthracite.

2- Which width should I go with? Are the 10.5" too much when keeping the stock 8" in the front?

3- Can I fit a 275 tire on the 10.5? Or just a 315?

4- Any rubbing issues with these sizes? (Assuming factory springs)

5- Which offsets should I be looking for?

6- Anyone have pics of their set-ups?

Sorry for all the questions at once, but I'm looking for advice as fast as possible.
 
MSCA,

1. The color doesn't match exactly. The stock ones are a little lighter.
2. I have 10.5's on the rear and think they look just fine with stock fronts (except for the color not matching).
3. Not sure if 275 will fit or not. I have 315's and no problems.
4. I haven't had any rubbing (still factory springs for now).
5. well the 10.5's are 27mm and the 9's are 24mm.
6. I don't have any pics yet.
 
ive got factory chrome bullits and im going to buy 2 knock off chrome bullits 17x9 so i can get a 275 40 out back without it bulging on the rim as much , but im putting the 275 40s on my 17 x 8s for now till i can afford the other 2 rims
