Ok I have these 06 Bullet Wheels, not sure if I want to sell them or run them

this is how they can be run

I have a set of 07 Bullitts on my 1990 Mark VII. The front strut did make contact so I used a 1/2" spacer. I could have got away with 3/8. I used Moroso 46185 studs for some extra length, but then cut them back to 2 1/2". Stock is about 2", Moroso is 3". For the backs, I did the same 1/2" spacers, and wheel studs for the rear of a 2001 E150. I could only find these from the Ford dealer here and they were $11 each! In retrospect, I would have been better for the rears to use the 1" spacers on Ebay. The ones I mean bolt to your existing studs, then have 5 new studs. The fronts are just right the way I did it. I only get a light rub when I am at full turn and the suspension is compressed a bit. On level ground, no rubbing at full turn. The wheels I have are 17X8's.

Thats what I run on my car. No problems with them, but I only run them at the dragstrip

that is what I was wondering, how safe they would be under a 1/4 run

I didn't think about it but I drive to the track with them on to. I haven't had any problems with them, just kept a check on the lugnuts like the instructions said.

Instead of using spacers, why not find you some bullitts off a 99-04 mustang. They will bolt up and have the correct offset for your car

I thought about that too, but I think I need spacers for that as well

or grinding
