anyone ever swap some bullitt wheels on their old stang?
I have a 67 that I want to run them on but I see that the backspace is different. I was planning on using the pre-2004 wheels because they have a smaller backspace then the 05 and newer ones. I see that there are some companies that sell them with a 4.5" backspace to fit the older cars, but I would rather go with original ford wheels if I can. So has anyone tried this before?

thanks

 

Tons of people have put bullitts on their 'Stangs...their even a little overdone IMO. They do look good though. If you want to see how they look check out the gallery. I think mojoe and Slickstang have them.

 

yep gotta have 1" spacers in the front to clear the upper control arm. i had to use 17" wheels to clear my 13 inch front brakes

 

Mine are American Racing Torque Thrust II's 67Sally. Similar to the bullits, but not quite the same. If I had to pick between the two, I would go with the TT II's. just my .02

 

nah dont listen to mojoe I got the bullitts on my 66.

 

Me too!!

 

I love that hood!! That's what I want...

 

What size are the wheels and tires on your stang??
These look great on your classic!!!!

 

Hey all, 18 by 9's on my 1972. The 18's clear the upper ball joint a little bit better. I had to do some shock tower rust repair and was not able to do the Shelby mod on my car. [:@] But I got a 1968 cougar for my 2nd project and that one did get the Shelby mod (lowered upper control arms).

Tires on the 72 are 265 / 35 WR18 Sumitomo HTRZII all around. I have room for 18 by 10 in the back but that size was backordered for a month...

I got the same tires as you. Have you been drag racing with them yet?
