18x9 or 18x10 Bullitts... Pros & Cons?
I'm happy with the stock 17in. Bullitts up front, but I'm thinking about some fatter rubber out back. 18x10 is my first guess, but is there a reason I might want to look at an 18x9 instead?
Thanks in advance.

Nope...Go for the 18x10 throw on some huuugee tires and don't look back 
Edit: Off topic but I was wondering if anyone sold 18x9 Bullitts that aren't deep dish. Because I like the 99-04 Bullitts where the fronts are regular and the rears are DD.

The pros and cons...pros..having them is nice,cons...not having them sucks.Your Mustang will take a 10" wide rim out back and some a nice fat tires.Its been done.Go for it and let the good times roll.
Choose your backspacing carefully so you can stuff a fat tire on the rear without sticking out.

go with 18x10 and huge tires for the rear.... you wont be sorry.
I do think that the color of the bullets out there wont match the stock rim color, but i could be wrong. I remember reading on one site that colors arent perfect matches to stock rim colors.
widest possible in the back..
