Sure brother... there's 18x9, 9.5, and 10s

Thanks for the link... good to know it's possible. I acyually just got an e-mail from a guy at mustangtuning.com saying that they will have 18x10 deep dish bullitts available in a couple days. BUT... he says that these won't match the 18x9 deep dish or the regular 18x9's either, as far as the design of the spokes. He says they are all different, so you'd have to buy 4 of the same wheel. I asked the guy at mustangtuning.com to take some pics of these wheels so I can see how different they really are. If he sends any pics, I'll post here.

 

Yeah.... the primary reason I'm gonna stick with the same dimensions all the way around is so I can rotate them and wider tires in the rear tends to track a little funny.... grabs a different line/rut if you know what I mean.
on my '98 I just sqoze in as wide a tire as I could fit in the front, and went with the same in the back.

 

What I really want is 18x9's with a regular lip in the front, and 18x9's with a deep dish lip in the rear. Maybe one day...

 

Tires arrived... The wheels are suposed to be here tomorrow...The tires are sweet, I can't wait to mount'em up!

 

HEY! Get away from your computer and stand out front waiting for the UPS guy to show up! For all we know he drove by your house to surprise you early but thought you went to bed early. Man, the NERVE of some people. Here I am waiting for pics of your rims and you have the audacity to not be ready at a moments notice to get them installed. :nono: I think you owe me an apology.

The deep in the back & normal lip in the front is the look I'd want too. That buddy system is a good way to get it done. Unfortunately I don't have available funds atm, they better sell them seperately after they realize people like the staggered look. Hopefully by then I will have the funds for it.
Still looking forward seeing those pics

 

After seeing the rims in person yesterday at CJ Pony Parts is Harrisburg, I'm not sure how the deep dish will look on the fronts. Now I see why you guys want them for the rears only...

 

Are the regular 9" and these new deep dish ones the same except for the size of the lip? Looks like it to me from the pics on there site. Couldnt you just put 255/45 on the front regular 9" and 285/40 on the back deep 9", or does the rim width also need to be wider in the back to look right?

 

I think the only ones that fit the 05's are the first few 9" that say 05 and the others are for up to 04's.

 

I think you are right. I just went back and checked the site and those deep dish FR500 18x10's are for the previous stangs. But, mustangtuning.com should be coming out with some 18x10 deep dish bullitts for the '05 in a couple days.

Problem is, I don't want 10" wheels (or a deep lip) on the front, and you'll have to buy all 4 wheels together because the spokes supposedly don't match the others. I'm thinking though that the spokes match enough. I think if you look at the wheels from the front (looking directly at the spokes) the wheels will be the same, but when you look at them from the side the spokes may be thinner on the deeper dish wheels. The thing is that you don't look at the front and rear wheels at the same time anyway... and the rear would be inset more and so it would be obvious they aren't exactly the same as the front. And with it being inset, you may not even be able to tell that the spokes are thinner.

I'm still waiting for the guy at mustangtuning to send me some actual pics (not just generic 18x9 deep dish bullitt pics like on their site) so we can decide for ourselves. My guess is mustangtuning doesn't want to sell us wheels unless they are an EXACT match for fear of people returning them. But, as long as the spokes look similar, I'd be fine with it.

And NOLAGT... I take it you are in New Orleans, right?

 

I'm sure you could do that. I personally wouldn't though. For one, I want the same tires on all 4 wheels so I can rotate them and get at least twice more life out of them. If you have different width tires, you'll be replacing them twice as much. But, the main reason is your rear 285's would have a significant buldge in the sidewall, while the front would have no buldge at all. I think that would look funny. My advice is if you want wider rubber on the back... wait and see if these 18x10 deep dish bullitts that are about to come out will match enough with the regular lip 18x9's, and get a pair of both. If the wheels match enough for just a couple people to buy pairs, I'm sure they'll start selling them in pairs.

 

You are correct...im in new orleans Where are you because I would love to hear a 05 in person with some mods! I should be ordering mine soon (trying to get a xplan #)

Thats what I was thinking...in order to stagger the back rim should be wider as well. I never had a car where this was an option so I didnt know. I like the idea of being able to rotate for sure but the idea of big fat tires in the back seems fun to. I will definetly wait to see what the 10" look like, If its close maybe I will trade two of my normal 9's for two 10's wiht someone if they only sell them in sets of 4.

 

If you had the anthracite instead of chrome, I would be into ordering some 18x10's and trading 2 for 2 with you. I have to have the anthracite though on mineral grey. I can see why you got chrome though getting a black car.

By the way, I'm north of New Orleans... in Mandeville. If you ever cross the Lake, let me know. Sometimes I do get down to New Orleans though.

 

I know they arent Bullits, but want to share some info..

These are Foose Nitrous 20 Inchers. The reason I love them so much is because they resemble bullits...5 spoke, kind of same shape, HUGE lips, and eye-catching design ()

 

 

Ahhh shoot yeah chrome wont look at good on yours. I am just going to sit back for a week or so and see what happens with these new rims coming out. I don't have the car yet so im in no rush just yet lol.

I would take a ride to Mandeville to hear your setup for sure! I will have to shoot you a PM when I get some time for a road trip! I am sick of hearing the exhaust on wimpy computer speakers.

 

Aww man that stinks about the front not clearing. Will the addition of the spacer on the front make it stick out more than the back? Also what about if one were to want a better brake/caliper setup. You think there will be clearance issues with this rim?

20 lbs...thats lighter than the normal 9" ones isn't it?

Ohh and PICS please :worship:

 

I know these are deep dish, but these give you an idea of what they look like on the car.

 

I wana see the deep dish on the car...I have seen the normal ones
