i was thinking of putting 18x9 deep dish bullits onto my 01 saleen but not sure if they'll fit cause i have the upgraded saleen brakes. and i was thinking if i could also fit 20x8.5 deep dish bullits on the rear as well...the suspension is all saleen so it isn't droppep too low...thanks

17's are too small unfortunately but i was wondering why i seen the cobra brakes work fine with the deep dish bullits that are 18s..is it smaller?

I son't think the bullets will clear those brakes. You have to use a wheel like the FR500 rims since they have a arch to them to clear large calipers.

if you get spacers then get the ones with the studs in them or buy extended studs.

I highly recommend against wheel spacers on the street. Spend the extra money and get real rims that fit. Besides, all those knock off wheels are extremely heavy and of very poor construction. no, I'm not talking about the diameter, the the spoke on bullits don't clear a lot of large calipers. Cobra brakes they will clear, and those are tiny 2 piston calipers.

no offense, but the guys at Apex are just parts changers. call a shop that builds track cars for a living, they have real advice.
