How much were your 18x9 bullitts?

I'm guessing that a 18x8 wheel will fit with a 255/45/18 tire. Can anyone verify this?

The Bullitts cost me $189/ea from LMPerformance.com. According to TireRack.com 255/45-18's will fit on a 8" rim as well. The section width does vary a little with wheel width so the same tire will have a larger section width on a 9" rim compared to a 8" rim, but the difference is very minor.

Car looks great. I put 285's on the rear and love them. I went with TT II rims. Very close to the bullits and available in custom offsets

Hey Adrenalin,

I was drooling over your car before I even received mine! Very nice ride. After seeing the BFG's on your car I knew that's what I wanted. I almost went with the same setup but decided to go 255's all around as a compromise.

Thanks for the comments and the inspiration to actually personalize my car. I would have been afraid to even touch mine but after seeing what a nice custom job looks like, both yours and several others here, I got the nerve to do it!

The fanblades for '06 are 18x8, and unfortunately come wearing 235mm wide tires. Bummer. But 255's will work fine on a 8" wide wheel.

Actually, the fanblades are 18x 8.5 I believe. I also think there might be a tire upgrade option for 255's on the fanblades.

For me, it will come down to fanblades vs. your exact setup. I can tell you one thing, no pictures have made me like the bullitts as much as the ones you posted.

If you ever get a chance to take some more, please do so.
