I am planning on getting a set of black bullits and the rears come with 18x10's with 285-40-18 tires. the car is only lowered about an inch, but will these rims cause issues in the rear of a notch? Thanks

Not sure what tire size he has on them, but my buddy has a similar set up on his coupe and they tuck under the fender-wells as shown in the pic.  -

I remember seeing your car with black non-deep dish bullits awhile back. It looked pretty sick. The previous owner should still have those pics, you should ask to see them.

that thing is sick...look almost like mine [Mad] [Big Grin] If you can ask him what size his rears are, thatd be great! Also, is he running 17's in the front? If I get that set of wheels, then my car will look REALLY similar to his [Frown]

right on bro, thanks!! Yeah, he told me that he had some black bullits on them before, but he got rid of them. I think it looks pretty sick! I bet with some deep dish rears it'll look even better [dance]

I have 18 x 10.5 Deep Dish Chrome Bullits on my 88 GT with 285/35/18 tires and they fit fine, I was even thinking on changing to 295/35/18.

I dont have any pics, maybe when the wheather gets better, I was told they were 10.5" wide when I bought them, they tuck better than my 17" x 9.5" Budnicks.

they are 275/35/zr18 and there 18/9 in the front and 18/10 in the rear you will probably have to take the quad shocks off cause they hit
 
Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :
 
does anyone know if 255-40-18's will fit on the front without any issues?

i fit 18x10 fr500s with 275s in the rear with no issue..didnt have to remove or flip the quad but i guess it depends on the car.

I noticed alot of you have mentioned/posted pict. of your fox sittin on 18x10's with a nice off set, BUT no one has bothered to mentioned their off-set. Especially with a 275/285/295 tires etc... [Confused] Reason for my question is because I found the 18x10 bullets , BUT with a 22,24,26 & 27mm (6.11-6.49in) off-sets AND! they all have mention that their wheel off-set will fit 94+ mustang. [Confused] Please Reply.

it says that it fits 94+ becuse 94+ are 5 lug and fox's came in 4 lug. [patriot]
 
Posted by TangerineLX (Member # 3046) on :
 
Thanks. I am aware of that circumstance. My point is the info that is giving for these 18x10 back spacings range from 6.11 to 6.49 depending on the manufac. company. To me that's enough for a rim to either set in or stick out to far from the fender well. [Eek!] [Big Grin]

dont think there are 18x10.5 fr500s. they're likely 18x10. they do have the 10.5" in 17s

is it just me or does the back rim have a crazy camber angle?
 
Posted by TangerineLX (Member # 3046) on :
 
I think what makes his rear left camber look off is his front right tire is up on the curb.
