When they say ie. 18X9 they don't mean it has a 9" lip, but it's a 9" wide rim. This is for any rim, deepdish or not. FYI
Just setting it straight, not barking at anyone

 

I don't see that they make a 285/40 for an 18" wheel in the NT-555.

Am I missing something?

 

i didnt get the nittos i got the bf goodrich kdw. but from my experiance if you call they sometimes have sizes that are not listed on the website for special order.

 

Those wheels are AWESOME!!! Can you assure me that there are no CLEARANCE issues with the size of tires chosen. Also ,what affect on SPEEDO?

 

everything is just right no clearance issues and speedo is good too.

Looks like this is the best size to keep speedo. accurate. Thanks a Lot

 

Can't you adjust the speedo for bigger tires using either the Diablosport or Xcal tuners?

 

Have they fixed the issues with Brake Clearance on the front wheels? If so then sign me up. Has anyone seen any pics of them on a Mineral Gray??

 

Yep.

 

The deep dish bullets look FANTASTIC.

Any word on the brake clearance?

 

adnlyn,
Can you tell me how close the color of the anthracite mustangtuning deep dish bullitts match the color of the stock bullitts. On their website, they look darker and on your pics, they look lighter. Just curious.

 

to be honest it is close. but i dont have my originals anymore to compare them to i sold them to this guy and they are wrapped up to be shipped. sorry i couldnt be more help.

 

Did you have to put a wheel spacer on the fronts or ahve they fixed that problem????????

 

yes. but i orderd them before they knew there was a problem so when the new wheels come in they are going to exchange them for me.

 

That's ok, I just didn't want them to be any darker than the stock's. I can't decide between the anthracite or chrome.

 

i'd say anthracite on a sonic blue. meaner look. besides, chrome rims are very heavy. listen to what your gut tells you. get what you want. it's your car.

 

adnlyn - please let us know when the new ones come in and if they fit perfect!
