Default Stella got some new shoes!

Well, while I am wrapping up my decision on my next power adder project, I figured I would knock out some 17x9 Black Bullitts, Nitto 450 255/50/17’s on the front, Nitto 450 275/50/17’s on the rear.

The rear end looks significantly meaner with the 275’s on the rear, I’m really digging it!!! And I love the black bullitts, just need to shop around for center caps or spinners. I’m really leaning towards some pony spinners to finish off the look.

Also got Dent Masters to remove the door ding on the passenger side door so Stella is finally looking 100%.

What do you all think?

The back rims do look larger, but I think it's just an illusion because the back tires are so much bigger then the front. Rims look great!

All rims are 17x9, but fronts are 255 tires and rear are 275 tires to give it a meaner stance.

I think the stock bullitts I had were 17x7.5, and my new rims are 17x9, so they are wider, but not taller.

I've only seen the black pony center caps. Ford has them in machine grey, and I have the same center caps from ford in machine grey, but I thought it would look like utter crap on the black bullitts. So I will shop around for a bit. I will lower the car after I get the car in the 12's. LOL.
