I have a silver 01 gt, and am thinking about getting rims, what kind of rims would u go with if you were me? Can you put 275's on both 17x9's and 17x10.5's? Can you just replace the springs to drop your car, i have heard that you are supposed to get shocks and struts too?...

I am planning on getting chin spoiler, grill delete as well. maybe pin stripes but didn't find any that i like....just trying to dress up the car more to make it a lil different from the other 1000000's of silver mustangs..

Click the link in my sig to see my silver GT with 17x9 and 17x10.5 black bullitt wheels. Running 275 up front, 315 out back.

haha yeah i already looked at it a lil earlier in OT, that's what made me open about the black rims, cuz they look REAL nice on ur car! But i wanna be able to rotate my tires still.....cuz my car wears them down weird....

Fix your suspension. I haven't rotated my softies in 15k and they are nice and smooth.

Yeah sounds like you have a suspension/alignment issue you need to get fixed so your car wont wear tires down retardedly.

lol how do i fix my suspension? or alignment? (can u run 275's with both the deep dish and regular?)

Judging from the fitment on my personal car, I would say 275's probably wont work on 10.5" rims, and if it would it would look WAY too small for the rim. Plus most good tires are directional and thus not able to be rotated in the propper fashion.

you can rotate them front to back can't you? (mine right now are 245/45/17) both front and rear, n are COMPLETELY bald now, so i'm lookin for new tires/possibly rims so i need to know what sizes to get and all, so it's pretty much out of the ? to get the same size tires for front and back with a deep dish rim?

if you have stock bullitts you can run 275s on 17x8s or 17x9s...but 275 on 10.5s is too small...just get 17x9 all around or get some OEM 17x8 black bullitts in front and then 17x9 aftermarket black bullitts in back if you must have a staggered rim set-up with 275s all around
