It depends, of course, on the width of the wheel. There's a guy in the 4.6L sub-forum that's running 315's on 17x10-1/2 inch deep dish bullitts (on the rear). I'm not sure but I think you can safely go up to 265 on stock bullitts.

It's recommended that 255 is as large as you go on a 17x8" wheel.

Sadly there aren't any 17" x 10 1/2" Deep Dish Bullits that I know of. 18x10 are what I'm familiar with.

255's to my knowlege on the stock 17inch bullit wheel. My rims are 17x9's all the way around, I run 255/50/17 up front, and 275/50/17 in the back. However, I think I could have gone 285 on my 9in wide rims.

I'd love to go wider in the back!
