Default Quick Pony Package wheel question

I know the pony package bullits are 17 inch diameter. Anybody know the width on the wheels ?

Are these the same bullit wheels that were put on the GTs ?

Thanks

17 x 8. Same wheels and tires came on GTs.

Tire size above is correct: P235/55ZR17

Yeah...but our Pony Package rims get the bangin' Running Pony / Tribar centers. Those Ford emblems on the GTs are ugly!

some typical S197 OEM sizes:
16x7 V6
17x8 V6 PP & GTs
18x8.5 GTs

The 16s wont fit a GT because of brake caliper interference.

Hey 157db...I just got (thanks to my lovely wife) a new set of new takeoff California Special polished bullitts (the chrome looking ones).

Are these 8's or 8.5's?

I believe the CS has the same rims as the GT polished bullitts.
Do you have a part # from the inside of the casting on one of
the spokes to verify exactly what you have?
2007 GT 18x8.5" polished bullitts should be sporting a part # of
6R3Z-1007-K.
The rim width and diameter is also on the inside of the spokes
as well as the offset of 50mm.

I will...still in Iraq for a bit longer.

I saw one Torch Red with these on it and it looked absolutely amazing. They are a subtle, yet somehow...very obvious.

I will post up some pics after the New Year!
