Author Topic: bullitt rims on a fox? gercolla1 ¯ Member # 3068 posted                                 There is a guy in my area selling a set of ford bullitt rims with decent factory tires still on em. They are the regular grey ones. He wants $500 for em. I was wondering if these rims will fit on my 89 coupe. I do have the basic 5 lug set-up that utilizes my original spindles with drums on the rear. My concerns are fit and function as well as appearance. I myself have never seen a fox with these rims. I am looking for facts and opinions:). -------------------- Sf Bay Area Posts: 2171 | From: Sampan San Francisco | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : Stimson _ Member # 51 posted                              Talk to "shade-tree" on here. He's doing the exact same thing. Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : 166 Merlo FELONY MOTORSPORTS Member # 1549 posted                              You've never seen it? That's cuz I'm the only one that's done it... Not bad huh? Dont' got wider then 255 out back or 235... maybe 245 up front and you should be ok. The rotor need to be slightly modded along with the wheel for it to fit correctly. Also the front center caps wont fit in right without some custom fabrication. I'll let you figure that out... Hope u like me car. -------------------- '89 - Boss Coupe '70 - Drop Cutthang '68 - Cougnut '87 - 0166, Its real Posts: 3954 | From: Thebay | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : Stimson _ Member # 51 posted                              That looks really good on a black car Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : Gear Head JARED Member # 779 posted                              Hell yeah they do -------------------- Support our troops!

But you had to modify your rotors and the wheels themselves? I think I'm ready to do the work, could you or somebody tell me a little of what's involved; grinding,cutting,prof. machining,etc. Thanx! -------------------- Sf Bay Area Posts: 2171 | From: Sampan San Francisco | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : Pcharged46 ¯ Member # 1664 posted                              i'm going through the same...i'm switching to bullits. I just have to figure out what to do with the dust cap!!! Whatever i have to do will be well worth the trouble.... -------------------- 04 Gt, Procharger,ported bullitt intake, vt cams, patriot heads mahle pistons, manly rods... etc.etc. Posts: 671 | From: Oakdale | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : 166 Merlo FELONY MOTORSPORTS Member # 1549 posted                              You'll need a grinder, a file and some double stick tape. takes about 10 minutes per wheel and you only need to fab the front. The back go on without a problem. Good luck. -------------------- '89 - Boss Coupe '70 - Drop Cutthang '68 - Cougnut '87 - 0166, Its real Posts: 3954 | From: Thebay | Registered: Jul 2002  |  :
