Post Are these stock Wheels ?

I bought this Stang about a week ago. This car is totally stock, no mods at all. I am the second owner. Ford shipped 2001Mustang GT's with these kind of wheels for this year or previous owner must have upgraded em ? Or was this a part of premium package with MACH460 stereo system. How do I tell what size are they. And finally how do you tell if its premium or delux. Dealer told me its premium but I dont believe em for ****.

I was thinking about installing very first mod on this vehicle, Wider wheels or Wheel spacers. If I purchase set of 18x10 what I am gonna do with these set of wheels I already have.

They look stock to me. Bullitt wheels came stock on some of the gt's. If your tires are 245/45/17 then you probably have the stock 17x8 rims.

Yes, and i think the stock bullits are some of the best looking stock wheels. IMO

I've tried both spacers on the stock wheels, and wider rims (my current ones) without, and there is no comparison really. Wider rims will look way better.

i win....lol



im not a fan of spacers, go with a staggered wheel setup 17x9 in the front and 17x10.5. www.americanmuscle.com free shipping/mounting/balancing good deals there. free shipping is huge when dealing with rims and tires because of the weight.

my staggered setup they are called FR500's from that website i mentioned. and those are 315's in the back(prob most common aftermarket setup on here with 9" in front and 10.5" rear)
