Default looking to get 10" wheels in the back.
i currently have 17'' Bullits, with 245's all around. i want a beefier tire in the back. it looks sweet.

I wanted to know what kind of tire size im looking at, and whats the biggest i can go.

Unless your swapping the rims, I believe the widest you can go on the 17" stock rims are 265

i run 275's in the back on my stock rims.. which are 17x8

now, if your going to swap rims .. go with either 17x10 or 18x10
with that u can put some 315's on .. now that looks sick !!!!!

LOL ...this was my thoughts too
get ya a set of 18x10's with a 305/45/18! thats pretty fits nice! I run a M&H 325/45/17 but they are more like a 275 size. the 18" 305's will fit nice I just missed out on a used set of 18" DD Bullits with 305 Nittos

You might want to consider a middle ground between looks and performance. Having all that rubber out back is going to dog you down off the line.

I guess i'm just more of a function-over-fashion kind of guy.

yeah, right now i am having trouble finding any 17x10 deep dishes..any help?

yeah, 305 sounds great if i could find anything.


I am looking to go with F/I this summer, so the extra needed power will be fine.

American Racing makes a 17X10.5 deep dish Bullitt wheel. The problem is finding the right tires to fit them. I am going for the A/R 18X10's with a Nitto 305/40/18.

how about keeping the 17x8's up front with 245's

and then going 18x10 out back with 305's?

maybe a stagarred looked?
anyone know of any pics with a 18 and 17 inch stagarred car?
