Ordered new rims and tires:D

Jucostud · November 4th, 2008, 07:49 AM

Ordered a set of 18x10 bullitts for the back with some 305/45/18 nitto dr's

. Can't wait till friday. I hope it fits and i don't have to cut anything.

07stanggt · November 4th, 2008, 09:13 AM

new rims? why 18s juco i thought you liked the look of the twentys. are these just track tires?

edit.... just the back i guess you wanted some dr's for the track. Congrats.

Jucostud · November 4th, 2008, 02:39 PM

yes sir, new shoes for the track.

psycho bob · November 4th, 2008, 02:47 PM

juco, if they are just for the track why would you gt 18's. why not some 17's or even smaller.

blackhavok · November 4th, 2008, 02:54 PM

you wont have to cut nothing. ull be good.... u might lose top end..

scramblr · November 4th, 2008, 02:54 PM

And why Nitto DRs? Great for the street, less than great for the track. Money better spent on MTs or M&Hs for track duty. You can still cut some 1.7 60' on them, but it'll be tough to get any better than that.

SUHLeen · November 4th, 2008, 03:20 PM

+1 on the above, why the Nitto's?

99mustanggtman · November 4th, 2008, 03:33 PM

Cool man!

Jucostud · November 4th, 2008, 03:56 PM

coudn't find a 17 in rim wide enough in the right offset. 18's were the same price, so i went with them. The m/t's were $100 more a piece... maybe next time. I also want to run these on the street. I ordered the 18'' bullitts that match my stock rims so i can run the 17's in the front and give it a really sick staggar and rake.

Mickey · November 4th, 2008, 05:58 PM

congrats Juco, so are you going to ditch the 20's now? seems like you want to run the new wheels on the street as well

The fit will be fine juco, if you recall I ran the 18's with a Nitto DR when I first came out of the winter with the procharger.

I hated em, but I won't put em down for someone running N/A with your mod improvements. I think for your application these will make a slight improvement in et. Once you add more hp and tq to the equation more sidewall wrinkle and a different compound are in order.

Jucostud · November 4th, 2008, 11:31 PM

When i ware out the nitto's i'll probably get the new et street 2's, but they are $240 a tire... got the nitto's for around $150. Rims were only like $84 a piece. I just can't wait for them to get in! Most people don't have any aftermarket rims, and i'll now have to sets. I guess i'll change make them match my daily outfit

Mickey · November 5th, 2008, 04:26 AM

I agree man, congrats again bro.

psycho bob · November 5th, 2008, 09:42 AM
