Default Deep dish help

I want to buy the deep dish bullit rims from mustangtuning.com but I have heard people say something about needing spacers and the rims not fitting. What do I need to make these puppies fit and where can I get the right size tires on the net? I have looked at all kinds of other rims but these are the ones I want but I want them to fit right. Thanks.

spacers are the lst thing you will need. ALot of people run deep dish bullits 18x9 and 18x10. you can also run 18x10.5's out back but need to make sure you have 30mm offset.

I have a set sitting in my garage. They wouldn't clear the calipers without spacers and, according to my shop, spacers put the edge of the rim out to the lip of the fender. I wouldn't use spacers anyway, unless they were hub-centric. I have no idea what kind of spacers are supposed to come with the wheels.

it has nothing to do with the wheel, the reason they dont work is they are not the right offset! if they were the right offset then they will work WITHOUT hitting the caliper. if you are buying brand new wheels and need to buy spacers then the problem is you bought the wrong wheels
