will the bullitt

will the 17' bullitt rims fit on a 73 mav or will I have to Finesse them on

 

dont know about bullitt rims but people have fit 17" rims. I guess backspacing is something to look at in the back since there is that leaf spring.

 

i took the bullit wheels off my mustang and tried putting them on my maverick. the front worked but the back would not work. you could get ones with different backspacing that would work but the stock bullit wheels wouldnt work for me.

 

thanks, I'm asking because I want to use some 05 gt brakes and the guy Im buying the bracket from said 17 work best

 

Bolt on wheel spacers are your friend. 1-1½" should do the trick.

Unfortunately, this is neither my photo nor my car.

 

Wow that comet looks good! I got to get me some spacers coming.

 

wow, nice car . . .

 

yup, you'll need at least 1" spacer in the front, and 1.25" or 1.5" in the rear

 

thanks for the help I will keep you guys posted and post picks

 

wheels

I used 1" spacers all the way around. It worked fine

 

There's a company that makes the bullit wheel with the correct backspacing...let me look for the link.

 

here you go no spacers required!

I put a 8.8 out of a '94 gt and my '07 bullits needed 1/2" to clear the leaf springs. I don't know what the front will need, though. I mocked it up and 1" spacer might do it but it's close to hitting the control arm. I'm putting disc brakes on soon but that won't move the arm. It will allow me to run longer than stock studs to allow for a spacer, though. Anybody run the '05 and up bullits? Will the 1" spacer fix it?

Thanks.

 

Nope, it will hit the tie rod end if I remember right. It hits something anyway. You'll need a bit more, as the '05 up wheels have even more backspacing than the previous generation, something like 6" I think. I run 1.5's.
