Default Will a big brake kit fit on deep dish bullit 18 inch wheels

Would like to know if anyone has the 18" deep dish bullit wheels from Mustang tuning and a big brake kit up front. Want to make sure the brake kit would fit (6 piston 13 caliper) before buying the wheels. Anyone who has them please post.

The brake kit to go with for the money will more than likely be the GT500 setup. Problem is, the rumor so far is that you need a 1/2" spacer to clear the stock 18" factory polished bullits.

I have never seen the aftermarket ones.

My expirience in the past has been that aftermarket replica wheels are heavier, thicker, and have less clearance. But I dont know about these.

I am considering a set for myself this winter, but I might just pick up another set of factory 18"s.

I guarantee that the DD Bullitts will not clear fixed calipers. They were designed to barely clear the stock floating calipers in order to maximize the lip.
