TexasShelby Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Here's it is mounted up on the rear ready to go, they look even better in person!!!! Doesn't it look great!!! All except they didn't fit the front, and they don't have any that will, no one does. Discount Tire was great, it's American Racing and everyone in their chain that are morons.... I personally made sure the people at Discount told American Racing 3 times at the first of December, on the phone that it was for a GT500. A 2007 GT500....a 2007 GT500 with the big brakes...don't send one for a mustang. They ripped mine apart for the sensors, mounted the tires and rims and I just smiled as they put the back ones on first, then they went to put on the fronts and shaaaaaaaaaaaaaa freakin zam.... they won't fit....on the phone with American Racning..."oh...no, we're sorry those are back ordered, but we'll send you some in gunmetal".... It wasn't Discount tires fault at all.... Just a bunch of moronic idiots at American Racing that can't look on screen and tell one wheel from the next. So, off they came, they wrapped up the rears in foam and plastic, and remounted my old ones and they don't really know when they'll see any Razors, sometime in late Jan or Feb. I got a novel idea...hey idiots, quite advertising crap you don't have. There...I feel much better now...thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say they don't fit, do you mean they sent the wrong P/N? What size were they, 18"? If they were, are you saying they have different backspacing? I'm confused about what about them won't work. Don't get me wrong..I'm not doubting you...just want to understand in case I decide to buy Razors. Thanks for clarifying.

snake40 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 That really sucks. What size did you get ? I am considering the gunmetal for my vapor. Good luck, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Not answering for TexasShelby (well, I guess I sorta am) - I would bet they dont clear the Brembo calipers. Common issue with big brake kits.

Common issue with big brake kits. Yes, I understand that...but I'm asking WHY. I know Razors will fit...if you get the right P/N. I'm wondering which P/N he got.

TexasShelby Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I ordered and Discount Tire ordered 20X9 Shelby Razor wheels for a GT500 and what they sent seem to fit the rear, but no way would they fit the front because of the brakes. They don't have silver, just gun metal is what they said, so you should be in good shape. I dropped AR a note asking when I might have an honest answer as to when they might be here. I spoke with Shelby Perf. Parts last way back in Nov and they said they were supposed to get some in 2 weeks, well there still out as well. I'm just wanting a straight answer on the delivery date, I'm not changing my mind. Hope it's soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would want 18", not 20". Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Sorry Dave, I don't have the part number with me. I'll have to get the part number from Discount on what we received. I'll pm you with what I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyRay Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Bro, I had the same problem with Disc.Tire BUT I tried the 18" NO DICE on 18".

Great weather AZ.......rubber burnin...BRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyRookie Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 This is what they will look like on all four. Those rims look great on that car. Are they 20x9" rims and if so what size tires did you put on? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednels Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I bet they sent the 20x9 with 40mm offset and 6.5 in backspace instead of the 20x9 with 24mm offset and 6in backspace. that sux mike, i know its frustrating. Mine should arrive firday, i went with gunmetal. I also had to buy them from somewhere other than tirerack because they refused to mount 285 tire on this wheel (which we all know will fit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyRay Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 For you tires, did you go with 275's on the rear or did you stay with 285's? Yes they are 275 all around........BRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
