Default Pics & vid with Chrome 18" DD Bullitts

I got the wheels installed a few weeks ago. I finally got around to taking some pics with the car all cleaned up. They are the mustang tuning 18" DD Bullitts with BFG KDW NT's 255/45 front 285/40 rear. I had to use the 1/4" spacers for the front and so far that hasn't been a problem. Ride is a bit more harsh but the awesome looks and improved handling make it completely tolerable. I love these wheels. :nice:

First here's a little VIDEO

Hey nice selection, i got the same. Do you think standard dish rims would of looked better up front? I'm kinda having buyers remorse.

Andrew, the rims are 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear.

trey, I really like the DD look for both front and back. I think DD in the back only looks a little strange.

haa, i'm writing on both of your threads. Yeah, i have the same tire setup also. A bunch of guys at work were all crowding around me to do a burnout this afternoon, i was like these are BRAND new tires! anyways i did one and was surprised at how easily i broke the 285s loose. Then it took off like a bat out of hell, how fun!

Did you purchase from Mustang Tuning? Also what tires did you go with for the 18x10 rears and what tires for the 18x9 fronts? Are they good for the track along with street?

trey, hehe i didnt notice that

nothsa, yeah i bought from mustang tuning. I listed the tires in my initial post. BFG KDW NT's. If by the track you mean the drag strip I would say yes they are definitly good because they hook up 10 times better than the stock tires. I'm sure they would perform great at autocross as well.
