I'm debating on installing 18 x 9/10 wheels on my 02 GT vert. The car now has the stock 17" bullitt wheels and I lowered it 1.5". Is this worth the $$$$. Thoughts?

These wheels will fit ok on the car? What about the back spacing? I really just want the car to look good. Those FR500's do look sweet.
I have 17x10.5's in the back w. Mickey Thompson DR's n they fit fine. Check out my gallery if u wanna see how they look, i have black bullits so u can also see how it looks w. black wheels. BTW my g.f has a silver GT w. black FR500's n it looks sick, her car is in my gallary too but she dont have deep dish in the back. She has 17x9 all around.

dude, your cars look great. Black wheels really make the car stand out. I'm diggin' it......esp the deep dish rears.
Thanks a lot, i appriceate it. I think ur car would look really good w. black rims. I dont think u need 18's to make them look good. If u want my opinion get some Black Fr500's 17x9 up front and 17x10.5 out back. My 2 cents.

I like my 18's. its funny though, the car did feel smoother and a little quicker with the stock 17's though. Im not worried about loosing that 12hp or whatever it is you lose to the wheels, its a Mach 1! Its gotta look sexy!
When I go to the track ill throw on my 17x8's and 17x10.5's with DR's for the extra inch and .01 time ill gain.
Nothing beats some sexy 18" FR500's with a deep dish!!!

hey guys im new here i have a 96 mustang gt convertible red with balck top how do you guys think that the FR500 black would look in my car???
ive been thinking seriously to change them!
Depending on the wheel you choose you won't be gaining that much weight. At the very least it will be negligible. I jumped from stock 16's to 18x10 in back and 18x9 in front and have never regretted it. I went with DD black bullets with polished lips. The FR500's would be killer on your car. I do like the idea of going with a 17x10.5 in back with 315's. That makes for a tough stance.
18 x 9/10 Wheels better than stock 17's?
