Hey gang, just wondering who all is in the same boat as I am. I've had the front 18x9 DD bullitts for over a month, and was told by Mustang Tuning that the 18x10 rears would ship by the end of this month. Anyone else waiting?

 

I ordered mine last week. 18x9 & 18x10. I got them last night. What colr did you get? Mine are black

 

Anthracite, and thanks for the response. I'm calling them right now.

 

I was told by Email by the end ov Nov they would have 05-06 specific DD that DID not require spacers, had anyone confirmed this yet?

 

I called and they did receive a shipment of the Anthracite 18x10 DD and mine should be in that group and shipped out today. I didn't ask about the spacers, sorry

 

MTAS, what size tires do you plan on matching up to those wheels? I will actually be down your way next week. Driving the stang all the way down from O'Fallon, MO.

 

<<<tapping foot already waiting for the pictures........>>>
:headbang:

I need pictures, dude!

I'll post pics the instant I get the tires on

 

Believe me, it's not an easy task deciding on what size tires to put on the rear. The fronts will be 255/40/18. Ideally, I'd like to put a 295/40 or 305/40 on the back, but no one makes either size. Toyo used to make a 295/40/18, but not any more. Nitto makes a drag radial in the 3XX/XX/18 size, but I want something with a higher TWR than 100 I will most likely go with the 285/40/18 that most folks on here have, and a 295/35/18 as a second choice. The 295/35 is about an inch shorter than stock so I'm not sure how that would look gap wise I have a neighbor who owns a tire shop (and has a proCharged 05 GT ) so I'll be spending some time (and money) with him to see what's available.

On a side note - O'Fallon?! I grew up and lived in St. Louis for 30 years until I moved to Tampa Small world

 

I'll be running 285/40-18. They are the same height as stock but over 11" wide. The 2 most reasonable priced tires i found are Pirellis and Toyo.

 

If you go 285/40, what brand will you go with. I plan on going with the DD's in the future and people have told me to keep the tires the same in order to maintain good handling, but then I look at the Roush Stage 2 and they are different sizes and that thing pulls 1G! Now, that would be a setup, Roush handling package, 18 x 9 DD's up front, and 18 x 10 DD's in the rear.

 

At first I was shocked thinking you meant forward acceleration. 1G equals 0-62 mph in 2.85 seconds! But then I realized it was the lateral acceleration... nice headrush for a moment there, though

 

If you want to fill up that wheelwell, I'd recommend a 295/45 Nitto has that size in an NT 555.

Here's what it looks like (This is Swingle007's car not mine)

 

Great minds think alike! After seeing those pics the other day I did add that tire to my list of contestants. But let me ask this - since that tire is over 28" tall, how much will it knock down my 4.10 gears? Enough to be noticable?

 

OK for anyone who cares, per Bob w/Mustang Tuning, and I'm not sure if this applies to chrome or black DD 18x10 Bullitts, but for anthracite: Wheels are in CA and will be shipped to PA today. Figure 5 days shipping time, then shipped out from Mustang Tuning in PA to where ever. So I should hopefully have mine by 12/14 or so.
