Default Thinking about white bullits

Thinking about putting these on my car. My calipers will be painted red, so I think it will really set the car off. What size tires will fit? 255/50/18's is what I was thinking, but I want to make sure they don't rub.

Those are the only Bullitts I will allow you to put on your car! Any other color and I will hunt you down and bash your skull until it's gushy.

Is that the per wheel price or for the whole set?

BTW, I have 255/45ZR18 on my car and I think they should be a smidge thinner with a 40 series. I can't remember if they're 18x8 or 18x9; I think it's the latter. The sidewall you're wanting will be too fat and make your car look like it's on stilts. I swear, STANMAN, you're great when it comes to putting colors on your car, but when it comes to outfitting it with some "shoes," YOU'RE CLUELESS!!! LOL!

If you get those wheels im pretty sure they are going to look great! I like seeing white and red put together. Your car is gorgeous.

GT premi, I think it's an age thing. I am 31. I like the muscle car look over the tuner look. It's just a taste thing I guess. I like the tire's filling up those wells, thinner would look worse to my eyes. I think I am going to go with the 255/45's that everyone is recommending all the way around. That price is for all 4. Pretty good price I think.

And I just got the call that my Roush louvers are in as well, so soon my car will be complete. Just in time to put it into storage for the winter! Also, what can I park on to keep the tires from getting a flat spot?

I don't think it's an age thing. I'm 34 and don't like the Bullitt wheels. I didn't like them (Kragers back then) when I was a kid and I still don't. Granted, some 'stangs can pull it off nicely. Yours just isn't one of them. But those white ones with some red calipers would be KILLER![sm=Flahssssss.gif] Try to make sure you win the auction.

Have fun keeping the wheels clean! lol

Those will look pretty bold, but since it follows a color scheme you should be alright
