what is the fattest tire we can put on our 17 inch bullit rims???
It depends, of course, on the width of the wheel. There's a guy in the 4.6L sub-forum that's running 315's on 17x10-1/2 inch deep dish bullitts (on the rear). I'm not sure but I think you can safely go up to 265 on stock bullitts.

Sadly there aren't any 17" x 10 1/2" Deep Dish Bullits that I know of. 18x10 are what I'm familiar with.
It's recommended that 255 is as large as you go on a 17x8" wheel.

Hey Rygen, I think you got the answer to this one!!
255's to my knowlege on the stock 17inch bullit wheel. My rims are 17x9's all the way around, I run 255/50/17 up front, and 275/50/17 in the back. However, I think I could have gone 285 on my 9in wide rims.

Are the bullits and the alloy 17" wheels the same? 17x9?
Here is what 255/45/17 looked like on our car. Couple of shots before and after lowering with same tires on stock wheels. 05SDI
