Anyone else have 18" factory wheels?

[Red03SVT]

My car has them and I would have thought it would have a different size tire. Is the wheel a 18x8? Might end up changing to different street wheels later, but for now they will have to due I guess.

My fanblades were 18 x 8.5.

I liked my polished bullits, might have kept them if they were 9.5" wide or more..

18x8.5 fan's here....

Do all of them come with the same size tires? My car has the 18" Chrome Bullitt style wheels

 

[Chris06GT]

all 18's have 235/50/18's....

Cool. Thanks. Where in AL are you? We are planning a trip to Steele in the next few weeks.

 

[Chris06GT]

I am north of Steele about 2 1/2 hours....We like to go down and run at Steele from time to time...Let me know when you go, be nice to meet up with guys from the forums....There are 2 Cobra's (03's), a 95 GT, a built turboed 2000 GT, Vortech 99 Cobra, and myself that go as a group....All of us have been going for years, we all live close to each other...

 

[Red03SVT]

Will do. Usually a good size group of us come from Atlanta and Chattanooga area.

you can put a 275/40/18 on that wheel easily...it'll barely bulge. i've got some pics somewhere...i'll see if i can find them and post'em up

here's a couple pics of 275/40/18's on 8.5 wide rims

I've got the fan blades and am probably going to just put the new M&H 275's that fit when thay come back in stock. I am tempted to get some Shelby GT500 takeoffs with tires so I can upgrade my brakes easily. I see them on ebay for $1300 ish which is a good deal.

i'm pretty sure you can get a 275 on there without rubbing, but i won't swear to it. i have the 275's on the back, haven't tried them on the front

 

[rojizostang]

here's those gt 500 wheels...$625
