Don't like the other ones that they made. Not sure what they were thinking NYstang 05-30-2007, 05:20 PM mine came free with new snow tires[8D] when I have the $$, i might upgrade to saleen or FR-500's. Or maybe polished 18" take-offs. EZimens 05-30-2007, 07:01 PM i am looking for the Bullitts in 17x8. where did u find them for $450?

IMO I would just get wheels madefor you car year 99-04. Good Luck mustanginexile 05-30-2007, 08:13 PM i got them off of craigs list. a lot of these are out there at good prices. at first i was going to buy these from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-04-Mustang-17-x-9-AFS-Bullitt-SILVER-Wheels-Tires_W0QQitemZ130117249365QQihZ003QQcategoryZ6648 3QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem v6stang07 05-30-2007, 10:33 PM they will but the offset is all wrong and like mustanginexile u may have some rubbin issues, plus they will probably looked tucked in the fender well EZimens 06-01-2007, 05:20 AM thanks for the feedback guys. i bought rims last night. Bullitt Anthracite. Mustanginexile, where did u get ur spacers?, just so i know in case i have the same problem mustanginexile 06-01-2007, 10:19 AM for the fronts not to rub i got them at a local parts store (Murray's Auto). You can get them anywhere. I went with 5/8" but non-hubcetric (spacer only). i dont recommend this for a permanent solution as it reduces the size of your studs which can cause them to snap. i put them on temporarily until i can get smaller tires. make sure you have 3/4" of bolt left after you put the spacer on. to bring the rears to the fender instead of being tucked in i got 1.25" hubcentric spacers off ebay which can be a permanent solution: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WHEELS-SPACERS-ADAPTERS-Ford-Mustang-Hub-Centric-1-25_W0QQitemZ120126890776QQihZ002QQcategoryZ42614QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem v6stang07 06-01-2007, 02:55 PM yes if it is a permanent thing, make sure u get hubcentric spacers all around EZimens 06-02-2007, 08:04 PM what would u recommend for a permanent solution on the front? v6stang07 06-02-2007, 08:23 PM really once u spend 100-150 on spacers u will be right at about the price of some take-off gt bullitts that have the correct offsett but hubcentric spacers would work fine for long term i would just periodically check them to make sure they are tight, also put loktite on the spacers lazypony 06-03-2007, 03:10 AM I think American Muscle and Stangmodshave some spacers if you're looking. EZimens 06-20-2007, 04:45 AM Got the rims on. they look awesome. didnt need spacers except to bring the rears out a lil bit. rubbing only occurrs when i have the wheel turned to the max and i never turn that hard so for now they are all good. thanks for the advice |
