Default 2008 BULLITT WHEEL SIZES

I just purchased a 2008 bullitt and I am very pleased with the performance mods on it; however, I am looking to upsize my wheel & tire combo. I want to keep the oem look though. Just looking to make her look short and fat out back. Anyone know what is the widest wheel size would work without hitting or rubbing. Thanks and I look forward to reading any replies.

You can go all the way up to 20x10 in the back and 20x8.5 in the front

or you could go with 18x10's if you don't want 20s then you can put 18x9's in the front

I wanted to keep the 18's that came with the car. I just wanted to go wider. When I looked up wheel sizes on various sites my options are limited to 18x10. Where can I get those 18x10.5s?

I don't think anyone makes them in 10.5 you might be able to find some place to widen the ones you've got, but there isn't any need you can put 315's on a 18x10 wheel.

No you can't. The lugs won't tighten up past like four turns. Spacers on S197's don't work very well. At least what I've seen.
