Default 18X10" Deep Dish Bullits on all 4 Corners of 2005 GT, any problems?

Hello experts, I have a 2005 Mustang GT and would like to install 18x10 Deep Dish Bullit Replica rims on all four corners of the car. Can anyone advise me for sure if these will fit ? The seller is telling me I will have problems in the front? Can anyone confirm this before I order. Thanks very much.

I think you could do it but your car will handle like a Hummer. You're probably want to go 285's all the way around? Having 18 X 10 deep dish bullets on the rear of mine with 285's I can tell you that tire is way too much width for the front.

I had 18 x 9.5 Kazaras with 45 degrees offset all the way around with 285/40s. The front tires would just barely graze something in the front when I turned as sharp as the car would turn. I now have the deep dish wheels you want on my car now. In the back 20x10's with 295/30 toyos and 20x 8.5 with 255/35 on the front. I really think that anything much bigger than this size on the front would be a no go, but all I can tell you is what I have done and fount out. Just for information sake, the car does not handle in curves as well now as they did with the 18's, but it hooks better front a start but mostly because I have a softer compound now than did. Also, if you want to put a wider tire on the back with the 20's there is plenty of room for a 315 or maybe even a 325.

I am considering putting 18x9 deep dish bullitt rims on my '06 GT. Does anyone have that setup? Just wondering if there will be any issues?

Those will be fine... I run 18x10 (45mm offset) rear and 18x9 (34mm offset) front.

I noticed you don't have pony center caps on those. Do they not fit?

Sure, they'll fit. I just left the ones on that came with the wheels.

I have 18X9 Shelby Torq Thrust M with 255/45 ZR 18 Sumitomo HTRz II. These wheels are only 25lb per wheel!! I have had absolutely NO issues, and my car is about 1.5 inches lower with the Eibach pro-kit springs. I got the wheels at Tire Rack, and got a good deal on them. They are an exact replica as mine are the Anthracite. All the other replica bullet wheels I looked into before finding these were over 30lbs each. No need to add unsprung weight.

The calipers are in the way of a 18x10 wheel up front.

You can not run 18x10 or any x10 up front this is stated on american muscles website. x10 are for the rear only for a stagered look.
