I ordered some deep dish bullitts from mustang tuning and they came in today. I go to put them on and all of the wheels rub on the calipers, not just the front two like they said. I'm getting new spacers anyway because the ones they gave me are the slipping kind but what's the deal? Has this happend to anyone else?

I have the 06 caliper problem and I ordered my spacers from SummitRacing.com.

They have spacers in these sizes:

0.500, 1.000, 0.375, 0.219, 0.313, 0.438, 1.181, 1.378, 1.575

I'm also going to grind the calipers down just a little where they hit so I can use the smallest spacer I can get away with.

I got a Email back from Mustang Tuning in regards to some DD buillits for the 06 that do not require a spacer, and was told late Nov. At first I did not like the DD in the front, but after seeing some at FFW with 255's up front, and some 295/45's in the rear in Anthrcite I may have changed my mind.

I think they're holding off on sending ANY 18x10 DD Bullitts until the end of the month. My 18x9 DD have been sitting in their boxes for 3 weeks now, waiting for the 10's to come in

That's my thinking as well, but I can't find a 295/40/18 anywhere. I know they exist, but it's looking like no one makes them currently

Why not just get some 295/35 BFG KDW2's?

Those are a hair over an inch shorter than 27.1" (stock height). A 295/40 is within .1". I will probably end up going with a 285/40
