Rims and Rotor Question???
I have a 2005 V6 Auto. I currently still have on the stock 16" Rims. I want to get the SVT Chrome 18" x 9" Bullitt Rims for my car. If I do hat will I have to upgrade or modify the rotors or calipers??? Or can I leave them alone fo now??? If the 18" do fit, What would be the best brakng sysytem for me? In terms of rotor size. Thanks.

RE: Rims and Rotor Question???
An upgrade in brakes is not necessary for a wheel upgrade. There are other brake kits out there once you do go to 18" wheels but you have to be careful. A 14" brake upgrade with new calipers might not fit your wheels. You need to contact the wheel manufacturer (Ford)to find out if a 14" rotor and caliper upgrade will fit.

you will have to do your homework...
It all depends on the offset of your wheels if u want a 14in kit..most 18" wheels should fit but it depends on the offset so it can clear the wheel spokes..with the caliper..
