looking for pics of 20" bullitts

I am thinking about stepping up to 20" wheels from the 18" I have now. Does anyone have pics of an '05+ with 20" bullitts?


If you see this RedRoushWa, your Foose wheels look killer what size tires are you running?

I'm running FOOSE NITROS (255-35-20 tires w/8.5 rims fronts) and (275-35-20 tires w/10's rims in rears).Thankyou for the comment I really like these rims and if you go for these keep in mind you need 1/4 inch spacers if you want to up grade to ROUSH BIG BRAKE KIT.The spacers I also for safety added ARP wheel studs for extra strong hold.I dont recommend for going any larger on thickness of spacers it makes the wheel studs possibly week.So 1/4 inch I would say is max for assured safety.

Man, do those look beautiful! I can't afford to get the Foose's, going to get a s.c. in the spring. That's why I'm looking at the Bullitt's. I was showing your sig picture to my wife last night (trying to justify buying 20's ) and she said if they look half as good as those do, go for it.

Thanks for the reply about the tires. I was thinking about the same size for the fronts, but maybe a 285/30/20 for the rear. Thanks again.

They tires are Hankook and the sizes are 20" Chrome Bullit Wheels with 245x40/ front, 275x40/ rear. I actually have an spare brand new set in our shop if you are interested in the wheels & tires. We installed them for a customer and they decided to go with 18" instead.. the tires have less than 300 miles on them and the wheels look perfect.

The 40 size tires throws your speedo off by Approx 3mph thus more milage on your car so need your calibration re set on those tires.I went for 35's for that reason.

Actually there was no need for calibration . It may have thrown it off by 3MPH but it was not noticable at all.

No matter what the tires size a Diablo can correct it. Our Roush Auto was way off from the factory so I went to the BFG web site -got the Revs per miles on the 275-40's plugged it into the tuner, now its right on the money.


Couldn't stop myself... stole this from another thread

update

I ordered these Bullitts in 20x8.5 and 20x10 from Wheel Replicas, they are replicas of the Foose Nitrous. I was looking around the web and stumbled upon these. They are coming with Toyo Proxes4 tires, 255/35/20 front and 295/30/20 rear. They should be in a week and I'll post up some pics when I get them installed. I got the whole package, along with new lug nuts, shipped for $1799. All I have to do is get them mounted and balanced, which will be free from a buddy of mine.

Thanks 05, see what you started by selling me that axleback!
I won't be upgrading to the big Roush brakes, only changing out the rotors to crossdrilled/slotted ones like I had on my Mach1.

The drone isn't that bad, IMO. Used to it? oh yea! I love the sound, mated to the catted x-pipe, it sounds mean as hell!
