So I'm thinking this winter since I have my snow tires on now, I want to swap out my anthracite 17x8s for chrome 17x8 bullitts.

Right now I have Pirelli P Zeros on the anthracites and I got them last April so they have maybe 5-6K miles. I don't see the point in spending money on new tires and wheels when the tires are perfectly fine.

Is this a good option?

As much as I'd love to do 18x9s in the front and 18x10(.5)s in the back, the money is not there for this poor *** college student when the detail shop sucks in the winter.

When I looked at the customer pictures, it looked like the tires were huge, while mine are low profile.

Will that be a problem? Or will it be a nice clean swap out?

Im also excited to have my old anthracites on display in my room and or as a coffee table haha.

P.S.- I've tried and lets be honest; no one is going to buy these wheels and tires off me or trade their chromes for these haha.

any help?

 

Personally if you're going to have to buy the wheels I would just wait and save more money.... You're not going to be happy unless you get what you actually want, especially if you drive your car on a regular basis.

Be patient and save your money, then get what you actually want. Might take a little longer, but in the end you'll be much, much happier with the final result. That's my $.02 worth.

But, to answer your question. If your current tires fit on a 17/8 stock wheel, they will fit on a 17/8 aftermarket wheel...

 

Thanks. I like that advice and I do drive my car a lot. (daily driver year-round). Maybe I'll stick with these wheels and go with my next mod, cobra intake.

 

Chrome Bullitts are the ugliest wheel ever made. Ever.

 

Lower it and add new wheels, outside done.

 

ditto on that, steeda whereabouts in Jersey do you live?

spike i'm pretty sure we've been over this before. lowering is not an option seeing as it's my DD in michigan, yes that means in snow. so until i get a winter beater or decide f*** it, then it's not going down.

i wish they made 17x8 saleens
