Default 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.

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..
