Hi im trading my gt in for a bullitt and understand its lowered 3/4 an inch more than the GT (or so). I want to put 18" chrome deep dish bullitt wheels on it, and was wondering since i dont know anything about rims/tires and traction. will the deep dish hinder performance like tires hooking? on my gt i know i have no traction and was wondering if i should get deep dish or just regular. also, im not gonna ask what tires to get cuz i know its been beat to death on other threads, but if i did get deep dish, waht size tires would i want in the front and back? as a daily driver, in new york, any help is appreciated. thanks

Also forgot to mention although 80% of the time it will be driven in the sun it will be driven in rain all the time and snow a few weeks a year

Its not the wheel that matters, its the tire. 18x9 will fit fine, but you'll need a minimum of a 275 tire on there. I really wouldnt reccomend something this wide for snow. Rain shouldnt be too much of an issue though. Just keep the old wheels for snow tires
