Also is there any way I can match the 10.5 with the stock bullitt wheels Im keeping up front? I think there are a couple small things that are different on the new wheels. I really dont wanna buy new rims for the front.

im pretty sure they are identical other than the width and the center cap. they might be a bit cleaner considering they are new so polishing up the fronts wouldnt be a bad idea.

Do you still have the stock bullitt wheels up front on yours? I know it not a big diff, probably not even noticeable to most people.

Oh yeah I wanna be sure this is the right wheel, there are so many options on there. Anthracite Deep Dish Bullitt Wheel 94-04 (17x10.5) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! Should look similar to the stockers except for the center cap.

Go with 315s dude.

I'm gonna recommend the Nitto NT555s.... I got a pair of those (245s tho) for my rears and they are amazing. I've got about 2500 miles on them already and you can tell I've got em broke in. Soon as I can get some fundage, I need to throw a pair on the front.

Those anthracite wheels are the ones you're lookin for, they match up pretty well with the stock bullitts.

There is a slight color difference between the aftermarket Bullitts and the ones from AM. When I had my stock Bullitt wheels up front, and the 10.5's in the back, I noticed it, but noone else did unless I pointed it out. Even then, it bugged me so much, I bought the 9" wheels for the front and 275/40's. I think it fills the front wheel wells out nicely being lowered, and definately adds to the attitude of the car.

Wow I didnt know about the discount I bought some 18" FR500 from them, well anyway they were awsome my wheels got here 2 days earlier and were perfect. As for the size I have seen 17"s that looked awsome Ive seen 18"s that looked awsome. I think there are allot of factors but ultimatly what you think looks good will be the best way to go!!!!

Ive got 18X10 rear w/ 285/35/18
18X9 front w/ 265/35/18

If I could change anything I would have went with a taller front tire the gap is a bit to much but I do plan on lowering it so hopefully that will do it.
