How do I know?

herndy_1 · 01-29-2006, 10:10 AM

Ok, I am planning on ordering some 18 inch chrome Bullitts in the next few weeks. The thing is that I want the deep dish Bullitts for the back obviously, but I do not know if they will fit. I have dual exhaust, and the pipes are pretty close to the rear wheels now (i just went out and measured and its about 2 inches). How do I tell if they will fit? What exactly do all of the measurements on the wheel page mean (backspacing, offset, etc...). Some help/advice would be great.

Here's the link for the deep dishes: http://www.mustangtuning.com/deepdish2.html

herndy_1 · 01-29-2006, 01:51 PM

Ok...how much of a diference in tire prices can i expect from the regular 9 inch rims to the deep dish for the rear?

whitethunder46 · 01-29-2006, 02:25 PM

all depends. the ones i'm looking at are $229 for a 295/35/18 and $194 for 265/35/18. Tires were BFG KDW2's

does anyone have wheel spacers tho cause i dont think my back wheels n tires look big enough.............18x10 chrome bullitts wit 285 bfg dr's on the back

i wish they would stick out farther so i think im goin 2 buy some pretty big spacers i duno wat does every1 think

herndy_1 · 02-01-2006, 05:53 PM

Ok...I got some pictures of how close they are. I know, its dirty right now. What do you guys think? Will an 18x9 fit? How about 18x10, 17x9, or 17x10.5? Opinions would really help before I order something.

whitethunder46 · 02-01-2006, 06:34 PM

Plenty of room, the wider wheels have an offset to help prevent rubbing. 17x10.5/18x10 will all fit no problem

herndy_1 · 02-01-2006, 07:23 PM

So basically what you're saying is that the wheels don't take up much more space on the inside...they are offset to stick out more on the outside. That correct?
