I just ordered some 18" black deep dish bullitts and tires. They are 18x9 up front with +40 offset and 18x10.5 in the back with +50 offset. Can I use the lugs that are on my 16" wheels now to bolt up my new wheels??

Not sure, but PLEASE post pictures as soon as you get them on. What size tires you going with?

Check with the wheel manufacturer. The lug nuts on stock 16-inch wheels take a different-size wrench than the GT ones, if I'm not mistaken. Take that into consideration when you get new nuts. You may need to carry a 3/4-inch wrench, rather than the 11/16 (?) that comes with your spare and jack.

As for the use of the original lug nuts on the new wheels: chances are they will work. Depending on the new wheels, there may be less space to fit a wrench.

I ordered from the Lug Shack. Quick shipping, reasonable prices, plenty of selections.

Where did you find 18x10.5 bullits with a 50mm offset?

might wanna try to find some black lugs to match, would look a lot better than the silver ones

I'd like to see pics also and know the tire size. I believe the gt lug nuts are 13/16s

I've been thinking about an offset on my 9.5. Definitely throw some pics up when you get this done!

For those who want to know my front tires are 255/45/18 and rear tires are 285/40/18, all Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars. I actually have them already in boxes. I took them out to inspect them and put them back in. I plan on putting them on sometime this week and I will definitely post pics even though I have trouble doing it on this forum. I don't have any problems with the other two mustang forums I'm a member off though...lol I've just thought about black lugs but I went through the forum and looked at pics of cars with black bullitts and most didn't have black lugs. Maybe something little I will do in the future.

Just paint them yourself. Use some engine enamel duplicolor and tape the wretch you'll be fine. And hurry up with the install will ya we want to see the pictures

What do you mean by tape the wretch?
