Gt style rims
I'm looking for rims and tires, thinking about the GT Cragar looking ones. Black, with a machined lip. Probably 18s. How wide should I go for the rims, and how wide for tires? Also, anyone have any idea where to get them?

RE: Gt style rims
I love the 20x10 on the back and 20x8.5 on the front, the issue is you cant rotate them.
my dads going with 18x9 black Bullitts all round so he can rotate them and the 18's wont compromise the ride. the 20's however you may find a bit bumpy.
And if you get the black rims, get the black lug nuts from Americanmuscle.com i saw them on my friends, they look sick!

RE: Gt style rims
It looks like in your picture that you got 16x7. You could go 17x8 without to much trouble. You might want to buy them made for your V6. I hear if you get GT takeoffs, there are brake caliper issues??? If you go too big (19's or 20's) they start to look and ride weird. JMO.

18x8.5 fanblades, no problems with V6 front brakes.
18x8.5 flangeless bullitts, PROBLEMS with front
V6 brake caliper bracket clearance. [:@]
See a pic ofan OEM 18x8.5 flangelessbullitt on a
V6 stang with V6 brake caliper brackets.
