13: brakes with 17" wheels?

[Bluffing024]

I am looking to get some 18x9/10 wheels and tires. Well, I ran across a Mustang for sale that has some chrome bullits in that size with newer tires. I wanted to trade him my stock 2000 GT wheels and tires and $500 for them. Only problem might be is it has 13" brakes. Will those fit behind the stock 17x8 5-stars?

I believe they will fit. To know for sure find out the back spacing for both rims.

Thanks for the quick reply Kilgore! Always helpful.

I guess if I want them I will have to trade him brakes too huh? Give him a little extra cash...

 

[helty]

maybe im having a brain-fart, but arent stock bullitt rims 17x8? Bullitts come with 13" Cobra brakes.

I ran 17 inch stock bullitts with DRs on my car. The rears are 13s, no problem.

Now I am confused...

lol


EDIT: Kilgore did you edit your post? I could have sworn you said "no go"...Now I am REALLY confused...haha

 

[Kilgore Trout]

They will fit, I edited my post... Sorry...

 

[javsvt]

LOL, we were wondering the same thing when I got to the track, cause I borrowed those wheels and tires. So we tried them, they fit!

Also, '03-04 Cobras come with 17" wheels and they have 13" brakes on'em. But yeah, to know for sure you need to know the backspacing of the wheels.

Thanks!



They are not Bullitts but they are the same style exactly. They are American Racing Torque Thrust M wheels. 18/10s in the rear and 18/9s in the front with Toyo Proxes T1Rs: 295/35/18s in the rear and 255/35/18s in the front, with less than five hundred miles.

Should I offer him more than $500 and my stockers? Or does that sound ok?

Sounds about right, start at $400, work your way up to $500 if thats what you are willing to a pay.

 

[Bluffing024]

Thanks!

It is a 1994 GT that has a lot of mods with 67k on it for 8995 obo. You would think he would sell all of the mods then sell the car...make a lot more money that way I would think.


Haven't been able to get in contact with him yet...hope he goes for it.

Then my car would look almost like this one

 

[javsvt]

Thats cool, almost looks like my old one. I had polished though!

 

[Bluffing024]

He wants $1500 and my wheels and tires....wow wasn't expecting that...at least I know that I can get 13" brakes...haha

My first choice would be FR500s anyway. But I won't be getting them for awhile. Just thought I would get these if I could get a good deal on them. I could get brand new FR500s in the same size with the same size tires only KDW2s for 1600-1800...
