Hey well can you really choose "Lip" Size? Or does it just progressively increase with a larger wheel?

Ok, Because i was looking at some online right now , and i dont really know what to expect from bullitts , Im fairly new to them in particular , and i wanted some 17x8 out front
and something bigger out back in width .
But i dont know how much bigger is right , Im just doing this for preference and the look ,
Do bullitts period come with a "deeper dish" kinda thing , Or are the factory defaults just straight out no "LIP" kinda thing.

bullit wheels are off a bullit mustang they made not long ago they look like the cobra r rims which are the ones on rmodels car and blueovalboys cars. they work on early mustangs but need a spacer to make up for the back spacing.

aight... so like 1" or 1.5" spacing? also, the larger the width the more traction you have. But traction can be altered due to the cars weight. If you have too much weight up front you wont get good acceleration and stopping will take a toll on your front brakes.

I'm very happy with the 9.5 out back, I love the look, and I am running a 1 inch spacer in the rear. Disc brake conversion from Mustang Steve up front so the 8 up front didn't need a spacer.

Sorry restomod its been a while and I don't remember exactly where I got them, I just know I got all four set up on rubber for 1200.

Also I prefer chrome/polished wheels on anything, but if my car was black I would consider going with black wheels, simply because I really like blacked out cars, if any of you have seen Rob & Big on MTV I love how all their cars are "Murdered Out" as they put it. Everything black. Thats my opinion.

(sidenote: not too terrible of a picture for taking it with my cell phone eh?)
