Default 10.5 Bullitt Deep Dish Wheels from AmericanMuscle

Okay so I have an 02 GT with the stock bullitt wheels. I want to get the wider deep dish bullitts from American Muscle. The 17x10.5 for the rears. I have heard they do not exactly match stock bullitts. They look identical to me. Let me know if there are any differences and if there are if i should go ahead and buy a new set of 17x8 or 17x9 for the front.

the grey shade is off a little but not much.my wife never noticedim going for the fronts this winter simply because the back rims look perfect and the front has wear and tear.

Yeah, they are a tad different, but I was the only one who ever noticed on my car. The difference is ever-so slight. I bought the 9" fronts a couple weeks later, so that I could run a 275 on the front, and haven't looked back.

Default 10.5" rear wheels

I got the 10.5" from American Muscle with the 315/35/17 ZR Sumitomo's. Great look and much better handing. Buying the 9" for the front and the 275's too! Good buy from American Muscle
The used stock anthricite wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 245/45/17 are for sale on the classified channel...:-) wheels are excellent, no curb rash, tires are 50%+ tread remaining...they arequite sticky and thet are also M+S rated.
Cheers!
