wow...your rear wheel looks a lot bigger than the front wheel now... doesn't that affect the speedometer?
Nope. I used my SCT xcal2 handheld tuner to adjust the tire revolutions per mile.

To the others who said I don't have DD rims, if you read my post I never said they were DD, but I wanted to post the photo to show the OP another possible option with a 17x9" rim in the back.

What 275 tire size wouldmake the wheel diametersimilar to the stock wheel diameter so that I don't need to adjust my speedometer?

Not sure - you should look at TireRack.com and enter different tire sizes to see their respective diameters.

28HopUp, I really like your set up, I put 275/50-17 on the rear of my 07 GT on the stock rims, It looks good, but I really wanted to go to a wider rim but did not want to change the look of the stock bullets. If you don't mind where can I get a set of those wider back rims, I livein Denver, CO.. They may not be deep dish, but they definitely give your Stang an aggresive stance.

Thanks. I bought two 17x9" rims and two Mustang Tri-Bar (large) center caps from American Muscle. I've stated before that replica Bullitts are not an exact match to the factory Ford Bullitts, but they are VERY close. The contour and color of the spokes are SLIGHTLY different, and the valvestem on the replicas is moved more to the outer edge of the wheel. The wheel-lip is a bit more polished than the Ford wheel, but it's not readily apparent. Most people will never notice that the wheels are different, but they DO notice the larger tire!

What brand of 275/50-17 tire did you put on the back of your car? I'm looking for a 28" diameter tire for the stock Bullitts to run around with when I don't have the DR's on the car (my coupe is my year-round DD). The only one I've found was the Nitto NT450.
