Which Wheel Setup?


so im in the process of picking out the rims i want for the stang. yes...yes...theyre your typical bullit rims..lol

Anyways, do you guys think that 18x9 deep dish all around would be good or
18x10 deep dish all around or 18x9 dd up front and 18x10 dd out back? any feedback would be appreciated. oh..oh and if you have pics of any of these setups (doesnt matter what type of wheels) please post them up so i can get a real visual (unlike americanmuscle, love them though..).

Bullit rims are just way out of style if you ask me

... on every product page, if a customer has submitted pictures, you can see what it looks like on the car.

When you're on the main wheels page, click on the style wheel you want. Then click on the actual wheel to go to the detailed info page. Scroll to the bottom and most of our wheels have pictures submitted by customers.

Almost no one does 10" wide on the front. That is really wide for the front. Unless its a road track car, I would stick to the 9"

I bet this has 10" up front

2007 Chevrolet Corvette C6RS Concept - Fast Cars, Cool Cars and Hot Cars at Fast-Autos.net!

but yeah, 10" is too wide for the front for any type of street car.

Love the bullitts, but please DO NOT put deep dishes up front. They are meant for the rear only!... Just my opinion

I would stagger. And I would go with something on the road less traveled. Be different, even if it costs you a little more coin. Unless you have some uber radical paintjob, the wheels really make the car and make it unique, so you should choose VERY carefully.


Here's my Mach with staggered setup (18X9 w/ 275-35's and 18X10.5 with 335-30's)








make sure you go fat out on that ass end!


one with my buddy's 98 in the foreground:




I think it's pretty pipe-hittin. And so does the little lady.
