I came across some Bullitt Wheels from an SN197 that I can get really cheap. The tires and wheels are Brand New and are from American Muscle. The Rear Tires are 315s on a 17" Rim I believe. My question is will they fit on a stock 99-04 mustang GT without rubbing? I know the offset is a little bit different and don't know if those big tires will fit fine, I've read on forums that some people have no issues while others do. I did have SN197 Bullitts on my old V6 and they only rubbed when I did very sharp turns or U-Turns but that might of been because of the tire hight was 55.

Will the 315s on a Deep Dish Bullitt from a SN197 fit a 99-04 fine?

Will I need Wheel spacers?

Thanks,

school boy

You may need 1" spacers

I have a set of 17'' wheels from American Muscle with 315 nittos no problems.

If the Bullitt wheels are from us and their 17x10.5's, they should fit on your 99-04 without any rubbing issues! Please give my CS team a call and they can help you troubleshoot. I don't see a problem with this as our wheels are designed to fit 99+ Mustang's.

Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

Ppl, pay attention. The wheels he is looking at are from a 2005 up with a different offset.

2005-2013 usually take a +40 ish offset. SN95's are more in the +15 to +25 range. But you can always adjust with spacers, just make sure you have longer studs if need be.

x2. Def going to rub without the spacer in the rear. What size is on the front? They might rub as well.

Why not just wait and buy the correct offset wheels for the SN95 instead of the S197?

i had 315s for a while. no rubbing. deep offset tho...

Lilroush: I would but I can probably get the 4 Brand New tires and wheels with 0 miles for around $400. And I need new tires ASAP and figured it would almost cost the same to buy new tires.

SXGT: that's what I mean by getting mixed opinions about it rubbing. I guess I'll just put them on before actually buying them and If they do rub ill just have to get a wheel spacer or pass up on them

LilRoush

You are going to need the spacer. The offset of the newer rim is wrong for your car. It's not about the 315 width of the tire. The whole thing is going to sit wrong when bolted up and will rub.
