What's the max tire size for the rim?
Looks like Ford is putting 235/50s on there... I'm sure 255s would be fine... can 275s fit on there since they're 8.5 inches? or is that too much?

What size are these fanblade wheels, 18x8 or 18x8.5?
Wow - I'm seriously considering changing my order now to the standard wheel. The fanblades and 255/45-18 BFG g-Force KDW's would look sweeeet!! Check out the tread pattern...

these fan blades are like jekyl and hyde. In one picture (the ford press release) its horrifically ugly. In real life pictures (such as in this thread) they look very nice.
I'm thinking about ordering the 18" bullits now since they are the first available, but they have no DISH

I don't know about the wheels, but I sure want to get my hands on a set of those tires in the first 3 pics.

According to the Online Ford Parts Catalog which was updated Today with Pics. The 18x8.5 Polished Bullit is not Scheduled to Be Used in Production until October! The Wheel is Not Priced and Has no Stock as of Date. The 18x8.5 Fanblade is Scheduled to be Used as of Job 1 Aug 05. This is what Ford Parts Cataloging Says. I realize this Conflicts with other info But I have Fanblades! I hate to Stir Things up but This is my Info. There is still two weeks until Release so things can still change. Ford has many Divisions Sales, Parts & Service, Media Etc.They do not always communicate well. It is Unfortunate there is Confusion on what wheels will be Released first. When I opened the Box on The Fanblade I thought I had ordered a Bullit due to all the information confusion but I got a Fanblade! I know one thing for sure. We are Still not Sure!
