Would they stick out past the fender lips? Would the front rub the fenderwell? Would these interfere with any other suspension mods?

I'm wanting to go the same size all around, so I could stick with 18x9s if the above is not possible.

Thanks

It can be done, but If I was you I would just go with 18x9 all around. .02

That looks classic

Sweet ride you have there.

Yes Hartman, beautiful.

I need a favor from one of you guys w/ the 18's. Can one of you somehow measure the amount of sidewall on the tire and state the tire size? Maybe even a close-up pic w/ a ruler next to the top of the tire?

I want to go w/ my stock 17" anthricite's up front and 18's in the rear, but I want to make sure the amount of rubber sidewall showing is the same.

Also, how good is the color match of the 18's from Mustang Tuning to the color of the stock rims? (05) I appreciate any and all help.

Maybe someone here is good at reading tire sizes can recommend a similar sidewall to the stock P235/55 ZR17 ?

That is a 255-45-18 Nitto. The rears are just a tad smaller than a 8mm. that is a 275-40-18 Nitto. I hope that helps ya out! And the last pic is just a shot to show what the Bullitts look like rolling. Its been worked over a little in photoshop.

That's a definate help. With my stock wheel up front, and stock springs all around, I'd need about an extra 3/4 inch of sidewall on the rears to make everything look the way I want. Thanks. BTW - That last pic is killer.

You've got good taste:

Here's another question -

Did Ford offer an 18" anthracite bullitt stock in 06?

And is the color the same as the 17"'s from 05?

Anyone know?

Ford didn't offer a stock 18 anthracite Bullit but in the accesories cataloge they have an 18" in black,silver,anthracite and clear coated polished.Here are the black 18" Bullitts I had on my 06'.Now FRPP sells the silver ,black and clear coated polished 18's and who knows why Ford won't sell the anthracite in the 18".
