07hoss Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I am going to be ordering me a set of wheels next week? I think I am going with the razors in gunmetal since I have seen one on here black with the silver I will go gunmetal, lol. What size tires will I need? I don't drag race or anything just a cruiser so I would like to have the same size all the way around. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 To lessen the degree of the firmer ride caused by the 20s, I would go with the highest profile tire you can get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I am running 20's but a staggered set of rims. 10 in the rear 9 in the front. Tires are 255/35 front 275/35 rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Front 255/35 and rear 285/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07hoss Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Front 255/35 and rear 285/30 So if I am going the same size all the way around it is safe to say to get the 255/35/20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07hoss Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 yes cool thanks, awesome car you have by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Same as Roger here, but 255/35/20 would be the size if not going staggered. Just my opinion, I think Staggered looks much better, have you seen both?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, I think Staggered looks much better, have you seen both?? Yes, I have seen the staggered look. Looks awesome but I had 18x9.5's on my 07 mustang gt and I kind of like the fact that I could rotate tires. Love your set up also man! There are a lot of good looking rides on here, I am trying to bring some of the flavor to middle alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louie428 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Front 255x35x20 Nitto NT555 on 20x 9 razor 40mm offset 27. dia. Rear 305x35x20 Nitto NT555R on 20x 10.5 razor 40mm offset 28.5 dia. Check out rear tire profile on 305x35x20 is more like a 45 profile, therefore better ride and off line traction. I have a track date in Aug and going to compare drag radial in 17" MT to 20 Nitto DR...will post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I thought the GT500 ones did not fit our cars???? How easy is it to install?? Any drilling? Last question, did they make an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07hoss Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Gt500 (svt wheels) are a direct bolt on I have a set of svt's I play around with... but I run 20' razors mostly. like everyone else 275 and 255's the stagger is better looking, but if you do a ton of burnouts the ability to rotate is good with the non staggard sizes Where are yall getting that kick butt hood?

If so where did you get it, my new tires kick up some sh!t and I would not mind a set of those, they do not look bad at all. Thanks Those splash guards look great on our cars. I went down to my Ford dealer and ordered a pair of GT500 rear splash gaurds. ($10 each/$20 a pair) It is a snap to install. After removing the tire, Remove two screws in that area from the car. Add a small clip to splash guard, attach clip and splash guard. Reinstall the two screws. Done. It took longer to get the wheel off and on that it did to install the splash guard.

ShelbyPilot Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Where are yall getting that kick butt hood? It is the CS 6/8 hood available through Shelby Performance Parts. It ws also used on the Shelby GT-H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Nice! I keep going bank and forth on the wheels. I do like the look of the stock wheels but I want to go with better breaks and the choices, for what ever reason, are far more limited with the 18" than the 20". I'm hoping some one either makes a 20" that looks like the 18" or develops a cool break kit for the 18" or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07hoss Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 It is the CS 6/8 hood available through Shelby Performance Parts. It ws also used on the Shelby GT-H. Love that whole look of your car, somewhere down the road if you don't mind i may have to get myself that hood. Thanks Maybe something else will strike my attention I really hate to copycat people. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07hoss Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Razor came in yesterday and boy and i am in love with this car. I will post some pics as soon as it stops raining down here so i can get the car out of my shop. lol. thanks guys and i went ahead and got the 20x9 with 255/35/20's on all fours. only reason is so i can rotate these things. I can see where a 10 inch is needed on the back just to give it that beefy stance. May have to order in time but for now i am tickled. thanks for your help!
