Default Offset for the stock 18's?

Can anyone give me some specs on the stock 18's I have on my 2010GT..looking for the offset to see what kind of wheel I can get when i am shopping for them.

Thanks

I know the offset for the stock '05 thru '09 wheels were in the 45-50mm range, depending on which wheel. You can probably get the specs off the SVT or Ford parts website. I doubt the offset changed for the '10.

+1 on what Nuke said. Our 18" x 8.5" Bullitts are a 50mm offset.

Here is a link to a tire size calculator. Very nice to know existing size vs others to get a comparison and also find out how it will affect the speedo.

Also the FRPP link to the actual wheel we have.

not all of the bullit rims are 8.5" wide.

I've run across several on craigslist that were 8" wide. the easiest way to check is to look at the inside of your rim. it will have a stamped marking saying 18x8 or 18x8.5

I would do as Tylus suggests - take a wheel off and look. They also have the offset stamped into the back. At least they do in the earlier 18" bullitt wheels.

Best,

I found your rims on NTO....if these are the ones you have, it appears they are 8.5" wide. Here is the link:

Your right in that ours are the 18" Bullitts and they are different in configuration from the 2010 stock GT wheels.
