yeah ive been there a bunch of time but do you think that is the best prices i can get?

If you happen to find it cheaper elsewhere, check to see what they charge for shipping. If it comes out to be less than AM, AM will price match it but usually AM is a little cheaper on most things after you figure in what you'd pay for shipping elsewhere.

what makes these wheels replicas? Are they just not licensed, or are they low quality? And anyone know reputable replica sites for Bullitt rims?

E_TeL · March 26th, 2010, 02:45 PM

I'm going with 18"s...Do you guys think I should get 18x9 or 18x10??? And does anyone know a good high performance tire for around 100 a piece?

and also what is a replica wheel? is it fake? for instance: http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale....itt-wheels.asp

HRV6STANG · March 28th, 2010, 03:33 PM

They are all right!

E_TeL · March 28th, 2010, 03:39 PM

okay, do you know what size tires i would need for 18x9 and 18x10 ??

HRV6STANG · March 28th, 2010, 03:44 PM

Well I would just call American Muscle and ask them Im not very good at math but tires are measured by width/side wall/rim size so do the math I guess see how many millimeters are in 9 inches and 10 inches

Depends on just how wide you want the tires. I think you can run up to a 275 wide tire on a 9" wide rim, but you'll find the car pulling with the contours of the road more. 245 or 255's are more commonly used for 9" wide rims. And I think you can possibly squeeze a 305 wide tire on the 10" wide rims depending on the maker of the tire. 275 and 285's are more common for the 10" wide rims. I have 18x9 and 18x10 rims and I personally went 245 up front and 285 in the rear. Also, you can figure out how wide the tire is by dividing the first number by 25 and that will give you the width in inches. You can safely run a tire 1" bigger than the rim, and if you go bigger there may be bulging. Some tires also run a little small (like Sumitomos) so keep that in mind as well.

I have 10.5's in the rear and im using 295's.

ok thanks..so im looking to get the cheapest tires that i can...with 9 inch wide rims..what is the smallest size i can use? 225's?

mcqueen · March 28th, 2010, 05:03 PM

I wouldn't go with 225's. It will look terrible. 245's will be a perfect fit for the 9" and I think 275's should be a perfect fit for the 10". Don't cheap out on tires.
