So the 20mm rear fit with the OEM wheels? Consensus seems to be that need at least 23mm.

I had the black appearance package wheels and 20mm fit on all corners for me. I'm not sure if the bullitt wheels have different sized pockets on the back side. 20mm fits on the PP1 wheels as well. I think it's aftermarket and maybe the PP2 wheels that have issues but I'm not sure.

Yes they fit just fine.

The rear tires already stick out quite a bit at the bottom on my stock Bullitt. Wheels don't look good sticking out even more IMO, plus they throw crap everywhere. The front tires can cause a lot more damage than the rears. It might not look perfect, but function over form for me. Plus I don't want to replace wheel bearings (or any other suspension component) early on. I like to push the car hard in the twisties, so don't want to add any more stress to the suspension, but to each his own .

I’ll take some for you ASAP.

I was hesitant to do the modification but based on the research I did and what I learned here I feel good about it. And I drive my car pretty hard in the canyons.

Then again, my car did throw a Wrench today and entered limp mode for the first (and hopefully only) time ever.

here’s a few quick snaps (FYI my car is lowered to 80mm with the Ford Performance Magneride kit):

But AnthonyA1234 used 20mm on the rear and his wheels did not fit flush against the spacers!!

No it was 20mm in the front that didn’t fit. In the rear I have 25mm that fit perfect so I’m just gonna run those 25mm in the rear.

Certainly makes the car look tougher but I think I will still go for 20inch wider wheels when I need to replace my existing tyres. BTW spacers NOT legal here.

cheers
