Hi guys!

i own a mustang 2001 V6
and im looking at mustangtunning for getting new mags
the bullit deep dish are awsome!
the smallest size in DD chrome is 18X9 with tire 285/35-18 or 17x10.5 with tire 315/35-17
do that will fit my car without any problem or rubbing ?
i think it will slow the performance of the car, but im more into the look

thanks again

There is more rotating mass with the 18s compared to 17s so yes you may be slowed down a tad bit because of that. With that said, these wheels are offered and 99% of the people who purchase them DONT have any rubbing problems but there are the 1% that DO have a problem with rubbing and can usually be easily fixed by moving your exhaust over a tad bit or removing the quad shock depending on where it rubs.

If you rub in front at all, it will be when your wheels are FULLY turned in one direction. I wouldnt worry about that problem and its usually with cars that are lowered 1.5 inches or lower.

my order is passed!

i finally got 4 18x9 bullit chrome with the bullit lug nut and tire
i think it will look good!
i wish that i was able to order 18X9 for the front and 18/10 for the back, but there was none DD to buy separate on the MT site
i dont know when i will received them ( im in canada)
i will post pics of my car before and after!
i thinl my next step will be to convert to a dual exhaust

btw... anyone know a procedure for paint the caliper?

thanks again
