    Thumbs up 18x10 Mustang Bullitt Wheels for 305 DRs - Look Good/Fit Good

    MustangTuning.com Wheels for 305 DRs<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->The 2005+ Mustang Bullitt Deep Dish 18x10 wheels from MustangTuning.com are a good fit on my MM with the 305 Nitto DRs. Special thanks to Chris for his work with me to find these wheels and sell me some blemishes at a great price. I am very pleased with the results. I now have a great looking set of 18x10 wheels for a price of one used MM wheel. I have been looking for wheels of this type for over a year.

    The shock clearance (see 4th photo) is about an inch and the tire sticks out about 1 1/2 at the rear of the wheel well (see 2nd photos). After using the Nitto 295s for 6 months the 305s on the new wheel and mounted on the car look very good. The 295s really fill the wheel well right up to the edge so the 305s do not extend out that much more. I also attached a photo (3rd) of the wheel well without the tire to show how the 295 apparently rubs the shock during hard turns.

    Finally, I have a good looking, very inexpensive 18" wheel in a solid 10" width that is the perfect width for the 305 DRs. Now, looking for 12.6s on the front page of the Timeslips.

    Thanks for everyone's help in this search. I think we have a real winner here.

    Glenn

    Bravo!

    "By George, I think you've got it!"

    I'm always impressed by the owners who are willing to take risks on our behalf, and this, my friends, was a risk.

    Thank you, Glenn.

    Hey Glenn,
    Looking good.

    To everybody else,

    You would not want to use these as everyday rims as they will stick out of the wheel well a little bit, but they will work well for track.

    Wheel Size: 18x10"
    Wheel Backspacing: 7.27"
    Wheel Offset: +45mm

    They've been trying to figure that out for a bit. Go figure.

    As for the Wheels, nice but a few more full views could help.

    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Thumbs Question Answered

    The reason the thumbs up and down are mixed-up is because recently the two symbols changed position on the icon list. I have also made this mistake several times.

    I will try and take some good pictures of the 18x10 wheels and 305s this weekend and post them.

    Wheels

    Running stock wheels and tires on the front and widened 9 1/2" stock wheels on the rear with Nitto 295s. The Nitto 305s DR are mounted on Bullitt deep dish 18x10" chrome wheels purchased from Mustungtuning.com for an extremely reasonable price. The Bullitts are only for the track. I do not like the DRs on the street.
