Widest Rims that will fit
I'm piecing together a 5 lug conversion kit, and bullitt rims on americanmuscle.com just went on sale, so i was thinking about getting them. Will i be able to fit 8 or 9" wide up front and 10" in the back?

I had 9 inch on the front when I was four lug and they rubbed on the wheel to the control arm's rear lip. Now with five lug I'm running an 8 inch fron wheel and have absolutely no issues. I'm also running 2000 spindles. The rears I have 9 inch wide wheel with 275/40R17s.

I used 17x9's on my lowered '91 GT, 275's rear, 245's up front with 1995 Cobra R's....9" seemed to be the upper limit!
Make sure those Bullitt wheels with your "stock" front bearing if you DID NOT convert to SN94/95...Some wheels will not work! ...'95 Cobra R wheels do if you used Lincoln or SVO rotors!
