Any suggestions where I'd find a matching 17x9 or 17x10 Bullitt wheel for my '06 GT? I'm thinking of going bigger/wider in the rear only... save a few bucks. Maybe even 18s in back.
Thanks.

Thanks, bigcat.
Perfect.
By the way, is the standard '05+ Bullitt wheel a 17x8?
Or 17x8.5?

Now if only we could find them 10 inches wide, I would be happy.

uh, I meant 17 x 10. I want to get bigger wheels for the back that match the front two wheels (without having to retune the computer for different a different wheel size). If I go with a bigger wheel, I might as well just change all four and go with a different design.

I just did mine a week ago. I had the backs only at first and it did not look right so I ordered the 2 fronts the next day. You wont regret it. Eibach Pro kit is going on this weekend to close that nasty gap.

Keep in mind the above bullitts are the 01-04 style bullitt

the 05-06 bullitt is a slightly different design.

So it will look odd if you purchase 2 for the rear and run your stock 05+ bullitt up front.

why dont you just do 17x10s front and back? i had 18x10s rear and 18x8s front, and i just bought 18x10s for the front also, handles WAYY better and they fit perfectly

Exactly what I want to avoid. I'm looking for wider 05+ Bullitts in the rear to match the stock 05+ Bullitts that I'll be keeping up front.

Thought I might save few bucks, and with the dropped front the stockers tuck in pretty nice.
