Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know; I found a set of 18.5 x 9 satin aluminim bullits off of an 08 GT. With the center caps and lugnuts (no tires)for.....$250......BRAND NEW!!!!IF YOU DON'T KNOW "CRAIGSLIST" GET TO KNOW IT!!!!!! People sell stuff on there really cheap. Sorry MF'ers, but craigslist prices BLOW AWAY Mustang forum prices on used parts. Actually, so do ebay prices most of the time. (sorry sellers)
Its going to be hard to find xxx-xx-18.5" tires.
No wonder they are dirt cheap.

Haha true. It'll cost you! But if it's what you want good luck! My 17in bullits are fine by me, only way I'd go to 18in bullitsis for some nice black ones but I'm broke!

Scraping the brake caliper or brake caliper bracket?
With the floating caliper design of the brake system
I would think it would just get worse with brake pad
wear if it was scraping the caliper.
Please confirm just exactly what the rim spokes were scraping.
