Another Wilwood Brake Question...

[Architect]

OK Guys and Gals: I need an answer to just one question: IS ANYONE RUNNING THE FORD RACING 18" x 8.5" BULLITT WHEEL (M-1007-S1885B) WITH THE 13" WILLWOOD FRONT DISC BRAKE SYSTEM..?
I don't need to know: Which brake system to use, which color, which wheel style.....JUST MY ONE SIMPLE LITTLE QUESTION...Please...;)
I know it's so easy to get side tracked in these posts...:D
Thanks again for the help...

Find the specs for the Bullitt wheel and compare them to the MM wheel specs.

I would contact Todd @ TCE, the MM front wheels require a small spacer 1/8" IIRC for clearance, Todd would know for certain.

Find the specs for the Bullitt wheel and compare them to the MM wheel specs.
Bullitt Wheel: 18" X 8.5"
4.5" bolt pattern
50 mm offset
6.82" backspacing
Stock wheel: 18" X 8"
4.5" bolt pattern
45 mm offset
6.295 backspacing
I currently run a 5 mm spacer with the Bullitt wheels.
I thougth I might put a stock wheel (no tire) back on and set it down on say 4" of concrete (load it) and visually compare the caliper clearances with the Bullitt Wheel.
Any more suggestions?

I've seen a black Crown Victoria here on site running black Bullitt Wheels like mine...it has the old ford emblem on the side and letters that say Crown Victoria...but I don't know what size the wheels are and I also don't know if the Crown Vic's brakes are the same as ours...
thanks, Architect

This will be the only method to know. (other than doing a test on someones car)
