New wheels and Tires

[GrnBullitt08]

I'm looking into getting a new set of wheels. I'm ditching the 20s and going back to 18s or even 17s so I can run a taller tire in the rear for the strip. I'm torn between a few options.... I dont have a ton of spare coin laying around since the build I have about $1200-$1400 to work with. Here are what I've been considering.



They are 17x9, 17x10.5 and I could run a 315 DR

Option 2:

These are 18x9, 18x10

Or maybe just a set of black bullits

I want to run a 315 DR in the rear and a set of nitto INVOs in the front.

deep dish black bullits. your car is too dark to have all black wheels with no contrast like the first option. need the chrome lip.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

the first ones also have an 99-04 offset so they would stick out a little.

 

[Infamous]

run the 99-04 offset. itll look a hell lot meaner and sit better in your wheel weels visually

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Which choice do you think is better....I can get any of those wheels with the 99-04 offset

I like option 2.. I think it would look good on your stang.

have you seen the 17inch cobra rs? here are mine getting put on,these are 20s though but they make them in 17s

Black bullitts or the black 03 cobras. Both will look 10x better than the 20's imo.

I think the wheels that alexthejew has on his car would look good. The dark green doesn't really need to be "toned down" with black wheels like other bright colored cars. IMO these wheels arent to dark, and they aren't to bright like an all chrome wheel sometimes is. They actually have contrast to them. Not to mention the design of them kinda updates the look of our cars when compared to some of the older style replicas.

Have you checked out the LMR SVE wheels?

I think they would look great on a bullitt in anthracite or bronze...

DAMN! That car looks awesome with those wheels. That's the '10 GT500 reps right?

Yes 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. I believe he got them from american muscle. And he used the 99-04 fitment (lower offset than 05+ for those that don't know)

 

[Ignatowski]

So our cars can do +24mm in the back and +30mm offsets in the front w/out sticking out? That's good to know.

He has some poke in the back, very little though. You can get away with it running a streched tire though. Most people run the 18x9 all the way around with the 99-04 fitment.

IIRC he got them from an actual 2010 GT500, not replica's. and OP, what did you do with the Stock Bullitt wheels?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I sold my stock bullitts wheels

I do like alex's wheels they are sharp, but I prob can't afford them at the time. I'm gonna be a set of bogarts for the drag strip so I only habe about $1400 max to play with
