Default Need New wheels and Tires

So im picking up my 04gt tmrw and the wheels on it are dead awful. The guy that owned it before me took off the 4th anniversary rims!!!!! It has these 16 inch 5 spokes on them with buttons around them. They look like something off of a honda civic. NOt even lying. Neway, i wanted to get the normal bullit rims for the 04 gt. what size are they stock and what size tires will i need? also do you know anywhere cheap to get them? thanks

Stock are 17X8 and you can get a great deeal on them at www.americanmuscle.com if you buy the rims and tires from them they will mount, balance, and ship them for free.

If you wanted new rims it'd probably be best through AM. I've seen people selling a lot of bullit wheels on craigslist and the sort though. If you want to order through AM, PM AMNick, he might be able to get you a promo code.

Bullitt blah. You will just blend in with those. Get something different, mix it up. Get 18" too. Fill the wells better and not too large to hurt performance. Thats my .02

alright im usually an american muscle fan but i got my rims from tirerack.com and they are astonishing. I got 17x8's in the front and 17x10.5's in the rear. tirerack is a bit more expensive but the quality is great. if you go with bullit, fr 500's or whatever i think you should go wider in the rear for that aggressive look. you will not be dissapointed! oh and as for tires, if you want bf goodrich or michelin go to costco. they do free mounting, balancing, rotating, swap out your winter/summer tires, and insure your tires for an unbelivable price. that is if you're a costco member.

Bilstien shocks + struts, Lowering springs (brand still TBD (any suggestions?)), MM CC plates, front + rear sway bars, subframes, and upper and lower control arms.
Time to make the pony ride some rails
