Aw4g63 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 I know this has been beaten to death but I have to ask. When I used the SEARCH function it kept coming back "No Results". Anyway, I'm looking to pick up a set of wheels I found locally. They're Mustang Bullets and they are 18X9 with an ET25 offset. The tires are 255 45 18. If I'm not mistaken that means they're 25mm, right? Which is just under an inch of offset. Additional info: The car has a 2 inch suspension drop. The control arms are in the stock location (No shelby drop). Do you think these are a good match, typically aren't 69's zero offset? They're a great price so I'd like to snag them. Again, sorry if this is beating a dead horse. It seems like something I could easily find but I'm having trouble searching the forum for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SM69Mach 68 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 If they are the Bullitts off the newer stangs, the 18X9 will be a bit too wide for up front, I was running that and had to drop to an 8in wide rim 17X8 and still run a 1" spacer for it to work properly as well. not sure on the rear, as I am running an 18X10 on the rear Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aw4g63 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 Do you recall what was rubbing up front? The fenders, splash shields or the actual control arms? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SM69Mach 68 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 It was the fender. The contol arm was fine. I acutally ran them for a while until I lowered the car. Once I lowered the car, it began to rub the fenders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buening 63 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 SM69Mach, what size tire were you running? IIRC a 245 series tire is about the max you can fit up front. With the 9" wide bullets on the front, I believe you'll need a 1.25" spacer for it to clear the ball joint. The rims may fit but your tires are likely too wide even with a rolled fender lip.

SM69Mach 68 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 I was running the 1 in spacer with the 18X9 and running a 275, which was way to wide. I am now running a 17X8 witha 245 and no issues. 18X10 with 305 in the rear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
