Optional stock 18's?
I have to tell the dealer by monday if i want to go with the bullit-looking optional polished 18's. He said there is a long wait for that rim.
My question is, how is this combo of the 18's and the 235/50/18 tires? Is it worth the 800 dollar upgrade? Or shoould i just order the 17's and get aftermarket tires and wheels? |

i say go aftermarket..........especially because you can get the bullitt rim in a "wider" size fir probably cheaper somewhere else than the dealer.

I would wait for the rims you want, because you get more than rims- struts and shocks are differnat for the 18 inch upgrade as well, so if you go 17, then buy different rims and tires, you won't have as good of a handling car. Another route would be to go with a custom wheel/tire package that really fills the wheelwells to the max, then go the Ford racing suspnsion upgrade route. That would give you a well matched package that will also lower the ride hieght about 1 1/2 inchs.

I asked two dealers and they both said the suspension is same with GTs with 17's and GTs with 18's equiped. Here a previous thread on that topic! https://mustangforums.com/m_848234/tm.htm |

I bought my '06 about 3 or 4 weeks ago and I just took the factory bullitts because I figures I will just buy aftermarket in the spring. |

I have the 18 inch fan balde stock wheels and they rock on a black car. They have a real good feel with the BFGoodridge tires.
