Default Rim question

Does any know if a spacer is needed when mounting a 17X9 GT take off (Bullitt) rim to a V6? When you measure the rim, it's from one side of the rim to the other on top right?

They should fit just dandy without mod! (I'll be quickly corrected if I'm wrong!).

I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a set of bullets, how much they run for... and do they fit the v6 without any mods or anything (i think they are 17 inch wheels)
i got 16 inch standard wheels(with the spinner thing) on mine now, i actully hit a curb and scratched the 2 right ones

One of the best deals around. For $599 you get four brand new bullet wheels and pirelli PZero Nero tires taken off of new GT's.

http://www.karkraft.com/2005_mustang.htm

These wheels go for $150 ea at tirerack and tires are $118 each at tirerack. That is a savings of nearly $500 on a great new set of 17" stock GT wheels and tires.

I found a take off set from a GT on eBay (the place had 19 sets available) for $525 + shipping. Total cost with ship from MI to SC was $670 via UPS. If you live close enough to them you can pick up and save the freisht. Oh yeah, wheels/tires have 2 miles on them and I do believe he has the sets he didn't sell relisted on eBay as we speak (8/17/05)

Thanks. I have seen that set on ebay before. I was considering getting those, but I want to get wider low profile tires. Not sure what size to get on my 17X9's though.
