Default Wheel confusion...

already posted, but i need help. sorry for being ignorant...i need some advice on rims/rim width. I'm looking to buy Blizzak LM-22s for winter, and wanted to get black rims. the approved rim width for the tires are only 6.5-8.5 but the bullit rims i look at are 9 or 10". can i still go with the 18x9 rims? any advice would be helpful, thanks.

it looks like the widest tire they make is a 255 and on their chart it says it will fit a 8"-10" rim. I am no tire expert but thats their specs

Mustang Tuning has a great selection. They definitely have bullitt wheels in various offests for 94-04 or 05+ cars.
You can give them a call if you have any additional questions. They also sell tires and can mount/balance the tires on the wheels before they are shipped out.
