Weight of Stock 2019-2020 Bullitt Rims?

[rcl4668]

Does anyone know or have a way to find out the weight of the stock black 2019 Bullitt rim without the tire? For example, is there a dedicated shop manual for our cars or woudl we just look up Bullitt-specific information in a shop manual for a 2019 Mustang GT 5.0? Thanks for any ideas or leads you may have.

Get the weight of Michelin PS 4 from Tire Rack (within +/- 0.1#) , weigh your mounted wheel assembly and subtract the weight of the tire. Off by a little, because the TPMS sensor and balancing weights are included but it's only a couple of ounces.

Great idea alleron, thank you!

No Idea sorry.
I'm planning to have my BULLITT wheels widened as the stock tires are no able to laydown the 480 Horses without spinning.
Anyone know how wide they can be made???

No problem! I was wondering the same thing actually. As a rough guide, I would guess that the Bullitt could accomodate the same rims and rim widths as the stock wheels on the Mustang GT with the Performance Package Level 2. That package has 19 x 10.5 front and 19 x 11 inch rear rims with 305/30/19 tires at all four corners.

Anyone see a problem with my reasoning?

Also, the Steeda McQueen Bullitt Mustang upgrade comes with rims measuring 20 x 10 front and 20 x 11 rear with 275/35/20 and 315/35/20 rear tires so it looks like there is room for expansion.

Just need to consider the offset/backspacing for those other wheels compared to the Bullitt.

Thanks Stangnut. So from your post can I assume that the brake, hub, bolt pattern, offset etc are different for the Bullitt compared to the same hardware on the Mustang GT Performance Package Level 2?

 

[Stangnut]

I would think only the offset might be a little different. It depends on if the wheel/tire sticks out more on the PP2. Everything else you mentioned should be the same.

Thanks and yes, the PP2 cars definitely look like the wheels and tires stick out more, which is unsurprising.

Just by looking at them probably 38 bajillion ounces.

Width isn't going to help. You need to stabilize your rear subframe for starters. BMR Cradle Lockout kit Level 2 or Steeda Subframe Braces. Do NOT get upgraded vertical links.

Okay, I'll bite. Why so adamant about skipping vertical links?

Because they're not necessary. Look at videos of what is all moving when wheel hop happens. You need to start with stabilizing the foundation. The foundation is the subframe cradle. It's like putting a stable building on a wobbly foundation. No matter how stable the frame is, if the foundation fails to stay true, the rest of the system is going to collapse. If you need applicable examples, the GT4 race car uses factory stamped vertical arms and I believe the Cobra Jet does as well. Or just call Steeda or BMR themselves and ask if there was one subframe mod you could do, what would it be? I've talked to both of them before and both have said subframe bracing.

Great idea alleron, thank you!

Were you ever able to get a number? The ford and ford performance still do not list the mass of these items.

No, unfortunately not.

Last number I saw from someone was they were within 1-2lbs of the Performance Pack wheels.
