Anyone running 18" Bullitts?

[bswor 76]

Particularly 05+ bullits? Or just 18" bullits in general? Or even 17" bullitts?

05+ bullitt rims have too high of an offset. stick to the earlier bullitt rims or replicas.

I run 18x9" bullit replica's 5.95" backspacing is too much, you'll need spacers/adapters in the front (I chose to narrow the wheels 1"). In the rear you might be able to get away without a spacer if you use narrow tires. I found that a 1/2" spacer (longer wheel studs) works great.

I am running 18X10 out back and 17X8 up front. the 18X9 was a bit too big up front so I went down in size. They are for the 94-04 years and I am running a 1 in spacer on the front.

Are you running the spacer because they were hitting the control arm?

What suspension setup/ tire sizes are you running?

 

Thanks

Yes. I had the 18X9 but it was too wide when I lowered the car so I went down to the 17X8 up front, and now there is plenty of room from the control arm. I did the suspension kit from Laurel mountain with 1 in drop coil, which I think it dropped a little more with the big block. Mid eye rear springs with 2 in lowering blocks. I am running 245/45 up from and 305/35 out back.
