American Racing Torque Thrust 2 spec's to fit S197 Mustang

[stkjock]

IIRC, they”fit” but the offset is wrong and poke out.

The offset does push them out but with the perfect stance. I have a 255/50/17 square set up and it's an awesome fit.

I banged up a rim recently and had to find a couple replacements. I got these. I can't remember how much they were but they weren't very expensive if I remember correctly.

..17 inch look so much better than the OEM 18 inch wheels..

Sorry about the necro post, I just wanted to be clear.
Do you mean the OEM rims that came with the 2001 Bullitt (New Edge) will fit as s197 wheels?

I just saw a set of these for 600 bucks, but I let them go because I didn't think they would fit.

Yes they do and the offset actually pushes the tire out nicely with 255/50/17. I tried to get 2001 rims but ford no longer sold them, I bought the 2003 new and wet sanded the spokes to take the shine off.

Yes they fit, the offset is perfect it pushes the tires out to the edge of the fenders 255/50/17. See if they are still available I love them

Looks good. What's the wheel width?

I like the half dome chrome center caps from the Bullitt, but I can't find them. Any idea?
Downside of 17 is no bigger brake option.

The centre caps are Moon Eyes Part # AA533 (2.5" x 1.75")

What is all done to your grill?

 

[bullitt1011]

The 2008 Mustang Bullitt came with the 1968 Styled grille. I believe it's only available aftermarket now. It was an OEM piece 2008/2009 Part # 8R3Z-8200-AA. $874.02 Canadian, but no longer available from Ford

Thanks for reviving this thread, I'm wanting to order a "custom made" set of American racing torque thrust 2 wheels but I want the deep dish style
in 18x10 - does anyone here know the difference between all the AR Torque Thrust styles? There are a LOT of different AR Torque Thrust wheels.
I really like the Torque Thrust 2 like the OP has on his car, anyone know if they are still available?

I put the oem 2003 Bullitt 17x8 rim on my 08 Bullitt and the offset is perfect with 255 50 17 nitto 555G2's

I think you will have a difficult time getting a deep dish style wheel to work on an S197 without narrowing the rearend or letting the wheels poke out.
Here are the Torque Thrust M 18X10 and 18x9 wheels on a 2010. Tires were 285-40 and 255-45 NITO 555G2 if I remember correctly. I like the wheels but the tires were junk.

Its no problem running deep dish wheels on a S197 - have a read of this - https://www.s197forum.com/threads/10-wide-wheels-up-front.37251/#post-2541309

@bullitt1011 - do you know if a 17x9 +24mm offset will fit on the fronts and rears ?? this is for a 2005 Mustang GT - (these wheel specs are for a SN95) but based on your prior post here, I think they may work ?? I know they will be pushed further out but hopefully not TOO much with excessive poke. I think this set up would be only about 6mm different than your 2003 Bullitt wheels?

Your thoughts? - Thanks!

 

[bullitt1011]

6mm + your going to put a 275 on? That may extend past the fender, but not sure. I have seen cars with 12mm past fender not a good look so hopefully someone can chime in with more accurate confirmation
