I was just thinking about you! Glad to see you're still at it! It's a journey!

JRANGER · 07-29-2013, 10:33 AM

Yeah, Its been a busy summer and between trips, kayaking, and meets I just havent had time to get much done...But it has not been forgotten

JRANGER · 08-03-2013, 06:04 PM

Im still shocked but I got a Craigslist Score and a half!!!!! I worked out a deal over text for just the bullitt wheels for $175 and when I showed up at the guys house (A friend of the guy who posted on CL) he still had tires on them. I was shocked and I said $175 right? I told him thats what his buddy has said and he said well I wanted more but Ill go ahead and let you have them still....I drove my little scion 50 mins to get these because I thought it was just rims....Wow was the ride home cramped but 2 17x8 Bullitts with 225/55R17s and 2 17x8 Bullitts with 235/60R17s.

**Denee007** · 08-03-2013, 06:21 PM

I am so jealous! Those are fabulous! The money saved you can splurge on something else! Good find! Those are really nice! How is the tread? Can you drive them for a while?

JRANGER · 08-03-2013, 07:21 PM

Well everything I read was correct. The 17x8s wont fit the front with out a spacer....Tires still could be too tall but it was worth checking....Rear fit on pretty well but could be too tall still

JRANGER · 08-03-2013, 06:22 PM

Tread is good enough to drive on but im not sure if the tires will fit. Ive heard I need spacers on the front but im about to go fit them

Rusbuilt · 08-03-2013, 07:42 PM

Yeahhhh Boyyy!

cubber · 08-03-2013, 08:56 PM

Looks good, Jeff!

screamin_c10 · 08-04-2013, 12:19 AM

Yup, same issue here on the 68 Cougar. You will be happy with 1.25 inch spacers up front and 1" spacers in the rear. I found Ebay to be the best deal on Billet aluminum spacers with grade 8 hardware.

These are 99 Bullitts so they have a little less backspacing. I ordered 1" Spacers all around off ebay for $97 with Grade 10.9 Studs. Hope they ship out with a quickness!

Those rims are beautiful!! Sweet score man!

INstalled the 1" spacers on the front but lost a lug in the process so couldnt install the rear. Definitely need smaller tires...prob get some 225/45 probably on the front and maybe 245/45 on the rear...

Rusbuilt · 08-07-2013, 08:54 PM

killin it!

flashed · 08-07-2013, 09:04 PM

Those wheels look great .

**Denee007** · 08-07-2013, 09:12 PM

Awesome! I like!

JRANGER · 08-07-2013, 09:22 PM

also was kinda shocked that my drums werent rusty....Only problem i almost had was the studs stuck out a little on the spacer but lucky the wheels have gaps for them

shearjs · 08-08-2013, 11:31 AM

Looking good Jeff!

yup, they look good in there

JRANGER · 08-10-2013, 03:27 PM

A little cut and grind on the drivers side rear floor panel. Still need to smooth and cut out a little bit to get it fitted right but almost there

**Denee007** · 08-10-2013, 03:42 PM

Omg! I've been there! I know what you're going through! But it will look great when you're done!

Those wheels are a nice touch. Looks like the floor is coming along, too. I bet you could talk some of us into an "unofficial" work day on this thing!
