You can run up to an 11" wheel if you remove the quad shocks, but there really is no point

It is possible to run a 10" without removing anything if you have the stock quad shocks, otherwise just keep with a 9"

You can fit a 275 on 8"-10" wheels, but 9" is recommended.

To be clear - 'wheel' indicates the round metal thing, and 'tire', indicated by the number (in this case 275), is the rubber.

Well your car didnt have stock bullits, so theyre stock off of a new edge? If thats the case, then theyre 8" wide I believe.

There is a large aftermarket of bullit wheels out there, so you could always buy 2 deep dish for the rear if you want more rubber
