10.5" Bullitt wheels--will they fit?

[FO94302GTRD]

I'm planning on buying some new wheels and tires. I was looking at the knock off 17x9 and 17x10.5 Bullitt wheels. Will these rear wheels fit my '94 GT without any modifications? As for tires, I was thinking 245's up front, but what size rear tire would you recommend? BTW, my car has been lowered with FRPP B springs. Thanks.

Yes. Do a search using the search function up top. I recommend 315 & 255-265.

BTW, I have pics in my sig. & in a new thread in talk.

they will fit but you might have to take off the quad shocks or bend the inner fender lip. Some have to do it and others don't. Don't run 245's on the 9" rim, it looks like crap and you wont have any curb protection. I just ordered 275/40/17's for the front and already have the 315/35/17's on the back.

Adding a little to what he said ..... you can also possibly flip the quads, as I did. Doing a search will reveal all the info you need.

if they are the afs knock offs, they will fit. i ahve the afs cobras. 275-40-17 up front and 315-35-17s out back. with eibach sportlines i rub slightly in the back and a bit in the front around turns. with the b-springs you should be fine.

the quad shocks must be flipped to fit the 17x10.5s and 315s out back.

I have 10.5 bullitts in rear with 315/35/17 and 9" bullitts in the front that are 255/40/17. I wouldn't go any wider in the front. They almost stick out of the fenderwell as it is. But both the front and rear are perfect sized IMO. No rubbing problems at all.

Right. But depending on tire brands & size, you may not have to. My F1's still barely clear the quads (like 1 cm) .... and they're flipped.

Hey, thanks for all the replies!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a quad shock? Is flipping them over pretty straightforward?

The wheels I'm looking at buying are the one's over on mustangtuning. I am not sure if they are made by AFS.

 

[SeventyMach1]

Yeah, just unbolt, flip, and bolt them up. You can also just leave them off if you have some nice aftermarket control arms. I think they're supposed to eliminate wheel hop, IIRC.

mine have slightly more than that, but not much. (nitto drag radials)

Wouldn't running 305's just eliminate the issue??

i had to "pursuade" the inner wheel well (not the inner fender wall, but the actual wheel well--had to bang it w/ a hammer) but other than that, no other mods had to be made.
