Default 18" Bullitts on 08 GT

Will the 18" Anthracite Bullitt rims fit on an 08 GT? I want to get a larger diameter rim and I've always liked the look of the Bullitt rims. There's a GT vert here with chrome versions but they look like an aftermarket knockoff.... Thanks for weighing in

yes just make sure you get ones made for 2005+ the offset is different on the older ones

Yes, in fact they are exactly the same as the polished 18" that come as options on your car, the only difference is the finish.

Here is mine, they are off a 2008 Bullitt and I love them. The dark grey just looks so nice, just need a black top to finish it off! ....







Before (hated this look)

I'm thinking about getting the same ones. I can't decide if I wanna go 18x8 or 18x9 on the front. I'm going to go with the 18x10 on the rear with a 285/40/18 and want to run 255/45/18 on the front. I'm just not sure if I want the deep dish on the front too. What size are you gonna run?

Not entirely sure, I used to do 17s on my old mach so I hadn't done that much research yet (I plan on picking up a set of axle backs from a forum member, and a tri-ax first)... but I have a silver mustang with black stripes, chrome is definately not me, though I am not sure how black with chrome lip looks on a silver GT Coupe. I'm willing to take opinions

and nice drop drop there

Do you have 18x9/18x10? Any wheel rub on the front?
