Suspension/Steering / Max tire size for Bullitt wheels
Quote from: Tbird232ci;467643
I have seen 315's mounted on the rear of these cars before. If I recall, you have to lose the tail pipes and the quad shocks to do so. It's been a lot of years. I don't think an 8" wheel up front will be happy with much more than a 245 or 255. After that, I think you'll start to get some bulge.

Yep, 275/40's are what I am looking at.  I think those billitts have a 6.5" backspace.    Tires are a bigger mystery than my wife! LOL

Suspension/Steering / Max tire size for Bullitt wheels
Hi all,
my 88 has a Max motorsport suspension with coilovers all around, and I have Bullitt wheels.(17x10.5 and 17x8)  I was thinking someone on here had that combo and was looking for a tire size to fit.    I know ya gotta be careful on the front as they are pushed forward.

Thanks!

Drivetrain Tech / Manual Pedal assembly
is the tbird manual pedal assembly the same as the mustang?  Was wondering if I can use a mustang cable and quadrant as I am going to a 10,5 clutch on my 2.3T

It not bad at all.  Just take it slow.  You will have to remove a lot of plastic trim pieces and I cant remember, but i believe I lowered the steering column.    You need 2 people to put the new material on smoothly.

It sounds more like a vacuum leak.  Make sure you have those hose  clamps on perfect or they will suck air.  Feel all the way around the intercooler and wherever those big air tubes attach. I had a pinch underneath where the intercooler to turbo connector was.
