Factory wheels to 18" wheels
Does anyone know if you can switch out our factory wheels to 18" wheels without any problems? I thought it would be a simple swap out but when I look at the wheels I want to get, 18" chrome bullitts from Ford racing, on their website it says this:
Note: For vehicles with 16" wheels from the factory: -installing 17" x 8" wheels, use steering stop 4R3Z-3932-BA -Installing 18" x 8.5" or 18" x 9.5" wheels, use steering stop 6R3Z-3932-CA
For vehicles with 17" wheels from the factory: -installing 18" x 8.5" or 18" x 9.5" wheels, use steering stop 6R3Z-3932-CA
I currently have factory 16" wheels and I'm about to upgrade to 18". Here's the link to the website: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=8970
I don't know what the steering stops are for. Also do I have to change out anything like brakes? Someone said I have to change the front to GT brakes or can I just swap my factory 16's for the 18's without doing anything else?

I changed out my 17" Ford bullitts to the FRPP 18" black bullitts..with no problems and no steering stops.They were not listed in the 06' FRPP cataloge.

Only 18" Bullitt FRPP wheels don't clear brake calipers of V6 with 16" rim! (This problem is not on all V6 or on all years... too)
With Fanblades or DD Bullitt or other rims You won't have a problem!
