Need help with wheel choice

I love the deep dish Bullitt rim's. I want to get a set in black with polished lips for my Redfire but I can't make up my mind on the size. I don't know if I want to go with 18" Deep dish's all around or 18"x9"(255 width) regular black Bullets up front and Deep dish 18"x10.5"(275 or 295 width) out back.

If you can get the regular bullitts up front with deep dish in the back I would go for that. I haven't seen them anywhere though.

My vote goes towards a staggered stance, that's the way I'm looking to set my GT up.

My question to you is, what site are you viewing that offers regulars and deep dish sets in those sizes?

Last I checked, Americanmuscle.com quit offering regular Bullitts.

I was hoping i could buy the regular's from Ford and then get the dd from americanmuscle.com. Just uneasy about them matching up. But I was leaning toward the staggard setup. Thanks for all the post's and keep em comin'.

275 w/DD all around! Allows ability to rotate tires!

I suppose this depends on how much you drive...
