18x9/18x10 Torque Thrust M wheels are on the BULLITT

**Killercanary** · 04-05-2007, 01:27 AM

Well, after seeing the wheels yesterday and thinking that they would not look good on the car due to the front lip being as wide as the rear we were pleasantly surprised with the end result. My mom opted for the new American Racing Torque Thrust M in 18X9/18X10 wheels due to the current back order issues with the replica wheels for her bullitt. For tires she went with 295's out back and 265's up front based on the recommendations I found on the bullitt websites. I'm glad we didn't go any narrower on the front, but at the same time it would have looked better with a little more sidewall. The tires are BFG g-Force T/A KDW-2's. We got the wheels from Tim at http://www.tireshopinc.com Forgive the crappy pics, it was raining and I only had a few minutes to grab them.

Although this look is definitely different than I am used to, I actually really like it and I think it fits the look and styling of the bullitt very well. It makes it looks like a low, mean, and wide road race car.

Looks great!!!

Lower that badboy about 1" - 1 1/4" and it would really look like a road race car!

Moms car looks SWEET!

Thanks guys, I'll make sure to let mom know that you guys like it.

Rob- although I agree with you, this car will never be lowered. Since its a Bullitt she doesn't like to do anything to it. All this car has now (and probably it will ever have) is a set of 4.10's, a predator to compensate for the speedometer, and these wheels.

If she does end up lowering it. I will buy the rear springs.

Looks awesome.

I assume the rears are 295/35. Are the fronts 265/35 or 265/40?

I AGREE THEY LOOK DAMN GOOD

**Killercanary** · 04-06-2007, 01:07 AM

Thanks again guys, she'll appreciate it!

The tires are 295-35-18 out back and 265-35-18 up front. The difference in tire height is approximately .8" between the front and rear. I was surprised by how similar the tires look in terms of width.
