Default New Black Bullit Wheels??

I'm Thinking about getting these black bullit wheels 17 x 9, because they are on sale but will they fit my 09 stock wheels. And would that look good on my stang??? I have looked around for pics but I can hardly tell which rims are which. If anyone has pics or info it would be great. THANK YOU!

What I THINK you are asking is if your stock tires will fit the 17x9 wheels? If so which wheels do you have? From looking at your signature it looks like you have a non-pony package therefor you would have 16" wheels and no the tires will not fit, plus you're gonna want some wider tires for a 17x9 wheel!

Your sig picture is pretty small but I don't think I see the pony package grill (small foglights like mine). If you don't have the pony package and have the stock wheels then you have 16" wheels and tires right now.

The 17x9 wheel will fit your car - but not the 16" tires of course.

The wheels will fit (to my knowledge) since I also have some 17 silver bullits. BUT, you will need new tires to fit those rims.

Gonna look SO good once you get them, black on white is awesome!

Might want to look into some 235 tires while you're at it.

Those wheels you're looking at right now will definitely fit in your wells, but won't be able to be wrapped in your stock tires-- You're going to need to get new ones! I've got 18x8 wheels on 255/45/18s. Be prepared to shell out a chunk of change for new low profile tires!

They show to be out of stock. I went with these, which are also on sale right now and since you will have to get new tires anyway, might as well go up to an 18". Dont for get that you will need programer to calibrate your speedometer for the larger rims.

Dude...go look at your tires and tell us what size they are. If you want to try and reuse your tires, I doubt if they will fit on a 9" rim. That will require new tires as well, but without knowing what you currently have it's just a guessing game.
Mine are AM black DDB's staggered 18x9 / 18x10 and fit like a glove, and you will not need to reprogram anything as long as you maintain your stock diameter...another reason we need to know your current setup.
