    hey guys i have been waiting for the 17x9 black bullits to come in stock from mustang tuning. i order the 17x10.5 like two weeks ago. all i need is the front wheels. i was on there site and saw they have 17x8 black bullits. i was wondering if i should just settle for the 8s or wait for the 9s? i mean is there really taht much of a difference? if i get the 8s i can still use my stock tires if i get the 9s i have to bump up to a 275

    im thinking about black bullits myself...

    i was going to run a 17x9 rear and a 17x8 front. 275 rear tire and a 255 front. i have 17x9 cobra rs now all the way around with 255s and 275s. so the plan would be to use my tires i have now. would a 255 look about right on a 8" wheel or to much? im thinkin it would look about right :shrug:

    The 255's on the 8's should look (side bulge) about how the 275's look on the
    9's

    When you get them on, post some pics, I wanna see them. From the pics that I have seen of Black Bullitts on MG stangs, I think they look killer! I've decided to buy some Black Bullitts myself, except I am going 17x9's on all 4 corners. But that purchase is a year away. Nice choice!

    im sort of leaning that direction. how much trouble did u have with 315s in the back? roll the fender? beat in the fenderwell? remove the quad shocks? is your car lowered?


    thanks man

    Car isnt lowered yet. Going with B Springs.

    All I did was reverse my quad shocks and that was it.

    thanks for all the input guys. im gonna order them on monday. im supprised i havent seen any pics of black bullits on mineral gray cars at all really im sure there are a few people on the board but havent seen any pics. it goes so great with the color ill deff put some pics up when i get them on. ohh and im lowered on h&r ss and i have no problem hitting anything or any rubbing issues. i think im gonna take out my upper issolators front and rear so it lowers it a little bit more.

    I've got 17x9 03 cobra wheels on my stang with 245-45-17's (in front) and i LOVE the look. It looks mean.

    Just my opinion though
