Default 18x8 Bullitts on v6?

Looking at a set of 18x8 Bullitt wheels for my v6 vert. Will they fit? Don't want to go staggered.

Thanks,

Dave

this was my most recent mod they fit fine although you may need to file the front calipers slightly as I had to

That looks awesome. Did you lower yours any or is that stock?

I was thinking about the silver Bullitts and a silver hood and side stripe.(vista blue vert with parchment top and interior).

Thanks for the reply

I have them on my 07 V6 and like them much better than the 17 inch GT wheels I had previously. I had no problem with filing my calipers and have decent clearance for the wheels. I did upgrade to GT brakes long ago, so I'm sure that is why I had no problems.

You are suppose to add a special Ford #'d spacer, so that with the bigger wheel you don't rub inside the wheel well. I ordered them, but found I didn't need to add them.

Its stock the sideskirts give it a lower profile. silver stripes would look good

No problem good luck with no more modding although I doubt it its very addictive.

That is one sharp 'Stang you got there.

What brand wheels are those. I have read that some brands have the caliper clearance issue where some don't. I was looking at a set from American Muscle.

Yeah, this is my first Mustang and I have only had it a few months but I have all these ideas for it. Problem is I don't have as much money as I have ideas.

Thanks again

You can find good deals on the 18x8 Gt wheels and they fit fine.
