18x9 bullits on the front of an 85 with coilovers

[dean85gt]

Oooooooooooooook.

I have the chance to trade my 99 cobras for a set of Deep Dish bullitt wheels. The fronts are 18x9 and the backs are 18x10.5. I have a UPR coilover and K member setup in the front and I am wondering if anyone else has any experience running a big tire with coilovers.

I really want bullitt wheels and I think they would look awesome but Ive gotta make em fit half decent.

Heres the front of my car (no motor, body panels just sitting there not lined up)

I hust put the 18x9s on the front of my 85 coupe. That extra inch of width is on the outside of the rims you have now. I can not turn the front wheel half way without it rubbing the plastic fender extension pretty bad. I am now trying to trade my DD bullitts off now. BUT I think maybe if I had 91-93 that it might give me the extra clearince.

If I where you i would see about bolting a wheel on the front and put a fender and some weight on the front. Then see how fits before you commet.

i have the same front end setup with 17x9s. they clear just fine... the extra half inch should help. assuming its the same offset.
