Thanks for the help in advance ,but i have been trying to find somone who has ordered the18 bullet replicas on ebay to see if they fit well,i am prety sure that the clearance on the inside is fine but i do not want them to stick out past the fenders ,if my calculations are correct they will stick out appr. 1 1/8 "from the stock 17's witch i think will be fine but i would like some first hand opinions,i thought there was someone on here that bought some but could not find the post ,i have heard of someone using 1"spacers so if they think those looked good then these should be fine !i should have my stripes,hood pins and sequencial lights on this week and think this also would be the perfect time for the wheels ,thank you!!
p.s. sorry for being so long winded i am still new to these forums

I'm a new guy here, but I am also interested in the Bullitt rims. I think they look crazy nice and I also have seen them on Ebay. My brother (who has a 97 stang and is a memeber here, I believe as Nuts4Ford) told me that because I only have a V6 the chrome rims would make the car feel different because they are heavier. I would just like to know if thats what yall think. I really Like the chrome, but if its gonna change my car or make it handle differently or somehting, I'll just get me the grey Bullitts. Thanks to anyone who responds in advance.

Based on the offsets I've found, I calculated this:
18x9 Bullitt wheels will stick out 1 and 1/4" further than the stock 17"
If you choose to do the 18x10 on the rear, those will stock out 1.9" further than the stock 17" wheels.
This is to the edge of the actual rim. Obviously the tire size put on the rim will affect the total change from stock.
It should look good. I kind of wish I bought a White GT and put 18" Anthracite Bullitt's on it now. :bang:
Oh well, there was nothing I could since Ford waited so long to release pricing.

Is that a pic of the exact wheels & tires you bought? If so, not only do they look like the wheels are for a pre-05, but the tires appear to be pre-05 also. I'm just basing that on how little sidewall there is. If that's the case, the diameter of the tire is a LOT smaller than the '05's and your speedo will be off. To keep it the same the tires would need to be 255/45/18's.
