Default Bullitts

Hey guys. I have decided on a set of the 18 x 9 gunmetal Bullitts with rivets for my 2000 convertible but I have a question.

I have chosen not to do the staggered set with the 10" rims in the back because I like to be able to keep the tires rotated as this car is a daily driver. What, if anything, can I do to make the rear wheels fill out the fenders?

I know this information is somewhere in these forums, but I could not find it.

Any info/advice is appreciated.

Hey Treyg870,

Good timing, we are receiving a container Monday with the 18" bullitts to replentish our stock. In regards to filling out your fenders, I assume you are talking out not up?

Yeah, I mean out. I plan on a set of springs to help out in the other direction.

I know it all has to do with the offset and other technical things, but to be honest, I have no clue how to figure all that stuff out.

I figure that it would require spacers or something, but I've heard that those can be detrimental to the vehicle's handling and alignment.

You would need a spacer to make them fill out the fender wells.

Are there any negative side effects to this?

I haven't noticed any. I have 4 spacer/adapters on my mustang. All 1" made of billet aluminum.

You could do this style which I have similar to: http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Ada.../5450-5450.htm

Or this style, DRS style: http://www.livermoreperformance.com/...rs.html#eibach
