There a number of different shades of paint on the new edge bullitts. Sometimes they match, sometimes they don't. Back when I was running the stockers up front with AM 10.5's out back, the color was off quite a bit. My factory wheels had more of a textured metallic as opposed to AM wheels which were just metallic. I actually came across an article somewhere showing the different finishes of the factory wheels for the new edges (I think the bullitts were available 01-04?).

If OP wants Bullits go for em, ultimately it is your choice.

I had 18x10s with toyo proxes r888s (great tires by the way) and I had a bad tire rub issue on the drivers side fender and a slight rub on the passenger one with H&R SS's. But if you roll the fenders you will be ok. The only reason I had rubbing issues is because toyo tires are all over sized and I had there 315's

I plan on rolling my fenders but sold the rims and tires for now, now I am saving up for some TF wheels

Back in the day... the color difference isn't blatant in this picture but it was pretty noticeable in person.

Not sure where you looked but there are alot of 17 inch choices. I had Nitto 315 on mine. Sumitomo, BFG, Kuhmo and several others make them in that size. AM sells them with either Nitto NT555 or Sumitomo, both in 315/30 ZR17.

This is what I want, I would rather save and get what I want rather than get whats available right now. Not trying to change your mind, just what I have my eye on.

so the backs are gonna be 315/35-17, would it look weird for the fronts to be 245/45-17? Like arent the front tires gonna be bigger?
