Got Bullitts! and a question

[5.0Dad]

Got the Bullitts about a month ago and wrapped them in 255/60 Toyo Proxis ST's. First weekend, the kid at McD's almost fell out of the drive through window, asked about the wheels before he would give us our burgers. My wife about died laffing.

Question: I'm thinking about spacers...for the rear. I've always thought that the rear track looked narrower, and now even more w/ the change in offset. Am I nuts, or has anyone w/ sim. backspace wheels thought of or done this?

the rear fenders are a bit wider out, so the wheels actually look like they are more in. people have run spacers, but usually for the front so there isnt any rubbing. i dont know about putting it in the back, but i guess you could if you want. im sure others will chime in any min

I was thinking of getting spacers in the rear to widen the track too.

mine looks like the front is alittle wider too. i kind of like it. is your truck an eddie? or does it have fender flares for some other reason? THEN I WOULD GET THEM IMMEDIATELY i can't stand flares with wheels/tires that don't fill them.

 

[5.0Dad]

No, not an EB just XLT. I don't like the flares and ditto on not getting the back space right w/ flares. Looks cheesy. Actually, mine looks allot like Expo5.0 but my air dam is painted gray to match the stock running boards and the wheels tie it all together color wise. I really just want the rears to have the same relation to the top of the wheel well that the fronts do. I'm thinking maybe 1/2", any thoughts on size?

Are the wheels you have the Mustang Bullitts? Post a pic if you can, I would love to see them.

 

[5.0Dad]

Yeh, they're Ford Racing. The only pics I have were taken w/ my pocket pc so they are real low res. and I'm too ignert to know how to attach them.

Hey man how big are those and does the size you choose look good i have thought about some bullit wheels

 

[5.0Dad]

They're 17x8, 5.72 BS. I'm just a little biased but they look great. I'll have pics soon. Otherwise check out Spas's.
