    I am debating wether I want to get the regular bullits or some deep dish ones. The offset is the same on both, 36mm, which is the correct offset as I uderstand it but the deep dish need 1/4" spacers in the front. Why do they need the spacers if the offset is the same? Are there any issues with spacers that could be a problem down the line? Just never heard of the spacers b4 and wondering what their deal is.
    thanks

    Go to mustangtuning.com and look at their deep dish bullitts. They are beautiful and come in the right offset.

    Those are actually the ones that require front spacers to clear the calipers.

    The difference is the deep dish. It hit the front calipers on the deep dish models, but not on the regular 18 x 9 models.

    Those are actually the ones I was looking at. i like the deep dish look and was just wondering if there were any issues with the spacers at all.

    Shouldn't have any issues with using spacers. People have been using them for decades.

    We're getting conflicting messages here. Some say you need spacers with the deep dish and some say you do not.
