I believe the offset wouldn't work at 24mm.

hes saying that seeing how those are at 24mm they wont work, you need a 38-45mm offset for it to work.

stick with the apps for the 2005-up mustang and you should be good on the offset...94-04 will most always be 24mm or less making the rim stick out too far. try these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AFS-05-06...emZ230215643723

IF you consider the bullitts to be deep dish...wow, They are not even close to as deep as I would like them to be, the lip is very small infact
Edit: Those are the exact rims I have above

yes....the only 18" black bullitts i can find r the deepdish ones...i cant find the normal ones so i am just going to go with the 05+ hypercoated saleen rims they have an offset of 36mm with a bolt pattern of 114.3

Have you looked at the American Racing 105MB wheels. I know they are only 17". I looked at 18" for my car, but I could not take the price of 18" tires. In fact, the wife and I drove a new V8 Monte Carlo SS, but the cost of 18" tires turned me off. http://www.sporttruckspecialty.com/wheels/vintage/torqthrust_m-painted.htm

I think someone on here, if not more than one, is or has run those tires before/now.
Here is a link about that. I also read some more about no on seeing 255s on 18s, but doesn't mean it hasn't been done.

You have to decide what matters most

i guess im not as picky as everybody else but with my 20's i didnt really notice that much harsher of a ride than with my regular stock 16's, now im sure if i went to 18's the difference will be even more minimal, i thought it drove better because of the better handling (wider=better) but i dont know if it's that big of a difference like when i first started asking about getting 20's, i almost crapped my pants in fear of having this really harsh ride, but it was almost unnoticeable... plus the 20's look better IMHO

01 GT, as a prior Wisconsin resident I know the inportance of snow traction. Do a search on tirerack of teh cost of all season performance tires in the sizes you are considering. The price difference in quality tires will most likely astound you. My 17s make my stock front brakes look so small. I can't imagine how 18s would look. I need to do the Monte rotor swap. My car has 235/55/17 tires and I have had nothing but praise from all my car buddies. Even a few new Mustang owners I work with finally noticed after I parked by them for a few days, that my wheels were the same as his. Although I covered the blue oval. For what it is worth, I am impressed by the Perilli tire sthat came on these wheels in the ice and light snow we have had so far, no rain yet, and I don't drive this car that hard to comment on serious cornering, but I am 100% sure it would do OK, since these Z rated tires went on a heavier car.

36 is fine... mine is 35 and it just barely sticks out, it gives it a really aggressive look and i like it
