I am also going to put 18x8.5 OEM Polished Bullitts wrapped in 255/45-18s on my V6.
I dont see needing the steering stops as most will tell you that they are not needed
But youwill need to change the V6 caliper brackets on the front to GT caliper brackets
along with GT rotors to maintain proper clearance between the wheels spokes and the
brake caliper brackets.
You need 2 caliper brackets part #6R3Z-2B134-B, the same left and right.
The biggerGTrotors are available as take-offs or aftermarket.

RE: Steering Stops??
The only time I miss not having them is pulling in or out of a parking spot. If you cut the wheel all the way to one side or the other it makes a nasty noise. Usually not a problem unless things are tight.
As far s the caliper brackets I just shaved them down about a 1/16" or so where they rub the back of the wheel.
I would recommend getting them both if you can.

RE: Steering Stops??
Is this the case only with OEM factory 18 chrome, polished, or black bullitts or with any 18" wheels? If I ordered 18" deep dish bullitts whether they are chrome or black from American Muscle or Discount Tire, will I have to have any spacers or steering stops or can I just bolt them on and drive?

If you like the Ford Racing 18" Bullits and you are a V6, its worth the Brake upgrade alone, bigger wheel, bigger brake......it's all plus!
I personally like the Ford Racing over all the other Aftermarket Bullits....IMO!
It's all what youLike!!!

Aftermarket rims dont apply here. They fit just fine.
