19" Chrome Bullits

Does anyone know where I can order 19" chrome Bullitts? I've searched high and low and cannot find any 19's, only 20's. I think the wheel well needs to be filled up and so I want 19 instead of 18. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know if they make an all season tire to fit on a 19? My 2006 GT is my daily driver so I need tires that work well in the rain, snow, etc. Thanks ahead of time!

Jeff

19's are a pain to get tires for and cost nearly twice the price of 18's. Does an inch make that much difference(on a car wheel )?

They make 20" Bullits, and the tires are MUCH easier to commandeer. I've been Begging the tire manufacturers for 315/35/19's for about 2 years now- no dice. There is a 315/35/20, but it's over an inch taller than stock. Noone seems to want to accomodate we pony lovers.

I went through the exact same thing with 16" rims on my sport compact. They are oddly identical to 19s on the Mustang as far as tire to wheel ratio, and in my book, perfect, yet they are both forgotten sizes.

I can confidently say there are no 19" bullitts currently. There may be at some point in the future, but i wouldn't hold your breath. Talk to the company that makes the rims at Mustang Tuning or one of the other OEM knockoff manufacturers and see if they have any plans for the future, or convince them to make plans.

not sure about the 315's fitting width wise but the height of a 315-35-20 at 28.7 inches tall should be fine, i run a 255-30-22 at 28 inches tall and i have plenty of room

they also make a 335-30-20 which is 27.9 inches tall with a 4 inch side wall and a 345-25-20 which is 26.8 inches tall with a 3.5 inch side wall

Oh, the 315/35's fit. GI Joe is running them on his car. I would really like to see a stock height tire, though. I'm going to try to fit the 345/25's on mine if I can find correct offset wheels to do it. The custom forged ones are high dollar.
