    Factory Mustang Bullitt Rims on FFR Roadster

    I may have a chance get some Ford Mustang Bullitt rims. Do these rims work on our roadsters? I've seen similar rims, but I'm not sure if they are Bullitt's or Anthrcites? Whichever ones I've seen, I really like the way they look on our roadsters. Do the factory Bullitts have the proper back spacing and all that good stuff? Anything to watch out for?

    The SN95 bullet wheels will fit but they are only 8" wide which will have huge limits to tire size.

    Yo-Bro-Yama,

    Check out OEWheelsLLC.

    https://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheel-Si...tang/year/2002

    I've bought wheels for my old C-4, son's Camaro and my MK-4.

    I think Jeff Kleiner is running a set of them on his car too.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It sounds like if they are OEM Ford Bullitt rims, I should probably stay away from them due to tire options. A guy I work with has them on his 'Stang. The rear wheels seem to have a deep offset... it makes me think that maybe they aren't stock. I'll have to do some measuring. Thanks!

    Late Model Restoration Has Some Other Options That You May Want To Look At Too:

    Also, though not produced by OEWheels any longer, LMR still produces the 10th Anniversary wheel which is what I've got.

    You've Got Some Great Options Out There & The Bullitt's Definitely Look Period Correct!

    I used lmr.com 10.5 and 9 inch wheels with sn95 rear axle and spindles. I am running 315 and 275 tires.

    Cool plates BTW.

    The ones I have a chance to purchase are used, so they are what they are...which I believe them to be stock mustang Bullitt rims. So they are most likely to narrow. Thanks for the input guys!

    Agreed, the look you are going for isn't going to be met with stock wheels. Lmr.com wheels with 3 inch lip cost 400 for the set. I quit looking after I found these. Got nt555 tires and wheels for about 1200. Done deal for me.

    Just a follow up on this post I started. I ended up buying the used rims. They weren't stock mustang rims after all. They are actually aftermarket rims. They aren't in perfect shape, but I got them cheap enough, that it doesn't matter. Now I'm up to three sets of rims for my roadster. I better cool it with the rim buying...although I don't have a set of 18's yet....hmmm.
