Default Will these fit?

I have the gt bullits on my car and found a set of 17x9 black bullits on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-BL...QQcmdZViewItem
now will these utilize the same tires as the ones i have considering they are 17x8s (i think thats the right size)??

I just did a quick photoshop of them and they really look good due to the black accents I got on my car. (black billet, gt500 rear, black sideskirts, black sidestripes, misc black stock trim...)
Any opinions are needed. For 400 this could be a good mod

I'd say it's a fit made in heaven.

17x8 to 17x9 is fine on your tires. They will stick out only about 5/8" more than OE which is fine. Whatever you do, test fit rim front and rear before mounting any tires. Offset usually embossed inside. make sure they are whet they say they are and only stick out approx 5/8" over OE. ...then get your tires mounted. Not sure what the mfg is, would want to find that out, some folks out here might know.

Cool, yeah I did see that once before and there wasn't one for the GT though. Did it just snap into the OE tab locations? (love the look)

Yeah, prefer ABS black, can't paint the billet aluminum black, would have to powder coat in black. Now you're talking a $400+ grill.
