[BULLITT #1042 (Ray Ackerman)]

15lbs GREAT! What is the summit part number? Did you try the 15x8 wheel on the rear of the Bullitt?

 

[68DARKHORSE]

Sorry I haven't tried to put them on the Bullitt, yet. Maybe I'll get to it this weekend. The Summit catalog doesn't have a PN for the wheel, I just called and asked for them by name. The wheel is on the first page of the wheel sectiion. They are available in 3.5",4", and 5" backspace. They also come in more sizes than they have listed. I can't wait to take the car out, but we're having some bad weather. You can imagine how p*ssed I was when I got home last Friday, thinking I could test the new tires, and finding only three were delivered. U.U.U.U.P.S.

Did you ever get a chance to check these out on the Bullitt? I am getting my gears installed next week and I'm now in the market for a set of drag wheels/tires and the 275/50-15s were on my list.

Beyond that does anyone know if a given wheel fits a 99 or 01 cobra will it fit our Bullitts?

 

[SILVERBULLET]

Come on lama I thought you were going to get the ARE's we talked about. For the centerlines I would check to make sure they fit I dont think they will.

Yes they will fit.

Nomad, I still have those on my list.. I just like to look for alteratives before I make the purchase. It's hard to beat the price on the AREs!

I also found some 275/50R15 BFGoodrich Comp T/A Drag Radials for $130/each on tire rack.

Has anyone used tirerack? Should I just pay a little extra and buy local?

 

[SILVERBULLET]

Okay cool. I would be real careful on buying rims for our cars. Most people say they will fit but have never tryed them on case in point here.

I payed 130 each for my tires.
