anyone running the newer 18" bullit wheels?

[rjardy 10]

I want to run these on my fastback and was wondering if anyone here has them and how they fit? What is the width on these wheels, as well as the backspacing? I would like to put a 275 out back.... possible with these wheels?

 

 

Thanks all,

I'm running 18" bullits.

 

18" bullits were never on an OEM car, and are made in a bunch of different flavours by a variety of vendors. So I can't tell you the width, backspacing, etc as that will depend on what wheel you buy.

 

275's will fit pretty easily in the rear with 5.5" backspacing. That's what I'm running.

Up front you can only fit a 245 or so, but to do that you'll probably need to roll the fender lips and get your backspacing setup perfectly (approx 5").

very nice thanks for the info. What backspacing up front is good? 235 up front is more than enough for me.

 

Also, any pics of what that 275 looks like from the rear?

Run approx 5" backspacing up front. If you are going with 235 rubber, don't get a wheel wider than 8".

Mustang Monthly did an article earlier this year or last year using a 69 and tried different bullitt wheel/tire combos. I'll try to find the issue so you can research it.
