I bought a pair of deep Bullit wheels 10.5 rear and 9 front. I was thinking of lowering the car also but not until later. The tire comes out to the edge of the outside of the wheel well as I've seen in a picture.

My question:

Will the wider tire hit the wheel well if I hit a bump hard enough or can it even travel that far. Also I have seen some spring kits such as Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs. What if I used that kit would I need to change anything else especially if the wheel comes that far out.

no, unless you lower over 2.5" and bottom out.

So I could use the Eibach Pro-Kit and not have to change anything else without hitting the well with the wide wheel?

I have the deep dishes and 315/35's and they fit under the wheel well. I haven't lowered the car yet, but I plan to. Shouldn't be a problem.

I've rubbed 'em a few times but it was when backing out onto the road over
uneven pavement (315"s on 10.5 bullitts). I am sitting about 1-3/4 inches
lower than a GT. Roll your fenders. Iwill be rolling mine soon, big tires are
waaaaaay to expensive to ruin!!!

You shouldn't have a problem with this unless you slam the car, and even if you do, the springs are so stiff, it's unlikely. I had H&R Supersports on my 02 vert for a while and they never touched the fender. I thought they would. But they were too low anyway, so I raised the car with Steeda springs, 600lbs sq in and they never touch either; stance is nice.

By the way, my car also has 9.5 inch wide Y2k Cobra R wheels on all 4 corners and 265/35/18 tires front, 275 rear.
