Dude. Cancel the order with mustangtuning and go on ebay. They have a $hitload of bullitt wheels. I think you`ll have a much better chance on getting them that way. [&:]

Get a tuner, it will be able to correct for the tire change and keep your speedo correct.
Or if you want to be cheaper and are a 5 spd, get a speedcal.

hey dude you are in a similar boat as me. My trans is out and my oil pan is 1/2 on, and right now I'm waiting for a few things (tools and parts) and my car is just sitting there. I totally know how it is to have a car sitting and have nothing happening... blows big time and now I'm driving my mom's 95 infintiy G20... total import car lol


and you would be putting a few more miles on your car than you are reading, but it's not much to worry about.

George
Haha, I have other cars to drive, just bothers me to know I can't drive this one if I want to. lol.

And I thought a person would be putting less miles on it......like i said...hurts my brain [sm=smiley11.gif]

I have the diablo tuner. I wasn't aware that you could change tire size on it though.

yeah, thinking is over rated sometimes lol

I have my trans in 242314 pieces in my basement (yes I know where every screw goes) and the gear cluster is at a trans shop, I'm having them swap the synchros.... Don't have access to a press [:@]

and i'm waiting for an engine hoist so I can drop the pan and put in the new gasket

I haven't driven mine in a while and it sucks I know the s95s aren't the fastest but it's the fastest car in my family haha


what cars do you have at your disposal right now?

Well the 04 is outta commision... I don't like to drive the Cobra, cuz I don't want to put miles on it. The 88 GT needs a water pump. lol...if it ain't broke it ain't mine. Nah, I have an 02 F150 and a 93 festiva(work car) to drive.
