Put polished Bullitts back on it. Took the Racestars off. I had found a great deal on the wheels and on some Porsche new take off Continetal tires. 275/45/18 and 245/50/18 with about 50 miles on them.

IMO the polished 18" Bullitt is one of the best stock wheels Ford has ever put on a Mustang and I'm glad to have a set again.

Agreed! I'd love to find a set for mine

Let me know how those 275s work out for you. I won't go over 255s on my bullitts. 265 I've heard is the widest you should go, but the only 265s i can find are stupid sizes or truck tires.

It depends on the section width. A 275/45/18 is fine for the 8.5" width. A 275/40/18 wouldn't work. The taller the tire the more width it can have because there is more room for the sidewall.

Is your rear caliper rusty?

Yes. Last year I ground the calipers down in order to fit Summit drag wheels on. I have another set of calipers and just need to do the swap.

I agree. I am very excited to run my Bullitt around on the stock ones again. The look of those wheels compliments the body style very well.

picked up some goodies from craigslist, only paid 150. Plan on running a lethal off road x and I think my Roush axle backs will be too loud for that. I am excited

I ran Hankook 275/40-18's on my bullitts.





No issues. And I agree with you Bruce, the Bullitts are the best looking factory wheels! They look great on yours.

Detailed it sucks with this weather though

Anyone know if state inspections stations share info? Like if one saw I had no cats and documented it would it show up at another stations computer?
