Looks good, but the offset is supposed to be 45 mm for the GT, and 39 mm for the V6. Do those fit?

Yeah they look great, and all cars don't have a definate offset to use. Its more of a range. I'd say this would be cutting it close to the minimum for a 9" but look ideal to me. It just needs to be a bit lower for the full effect, then it'd be a droolfest.

Manny, he's going to be lowering the car here soon I guess, it'll look awesome I think. I ordered Hallibrands with the same offset and I'm lowered so I should give you guys an idea of how the 9's are going to look...

Here are more pics, this is all i've got left:

Sweet –
Matt from Crossroadz had told me he was going to get some pics up of his first customer’s order for the new 05 Bullitts…..

Nice pics car looks great!

What majorly bums me out is that his manufacturer is ONLY making them in polished chrome and in black – NO anthracite and NO Satin Silver (which is what I want)….

Thanks Mattie, I was looking for a side shot

They look good even at the stock ride height IMO.

I assume those tires are 255's.

That car looks great. Wonderfull job. Amazing how something so minor as sticking the wheels out farther and having that blackout tail section make such a big difference on this car.

I think that's the ideal wheel, I still stand by saying this car should be 28 overall diameter not 27. A tune will fix that, for speedo correction. I'd get gears too because of the taller tire (car may FEEL slower w/ tall tire)

I've been wondering how much of deep dish they can actually do with the current offset. Not too much I think, unless they change the wheel a lot. Guess we'll have to wait for the 18X10's to find out.

Very nice!

I was told by one of the wheel manufactures that you will not get a wide wheel AND a deep dish on the new '05. He told me that he inquired about some of the promo pics he'd seen and found out they were able to get the wide wheels and deep dish by swapping out the third member of the cars. They swapped with pre '05 Stangs. In doing sizing, the widest wheel we could get was 10-1/4" with a stock 17" diameter.
