Can any of you guys direct me to the right decision. Any thoughts on running the 285's in the rear? $820 sounds pretty good, but I'm not sure as you didn't state what size you bought. I think I ended up paying around $1,600 for my package including shipping (20 Silver on Nitto's) As far as the size of the rear, I'm running 285 even though I think 275 was supposed to be max on the 9 inch. On a side note, Nitto's are useless as tits on a bull if you're making any power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I love my Razors (after I installed the hubcentric rings on them) I'm running Nitto INVOs and love them. Better traction, great ride and very quiet with the top down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD SNAKE Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 On a side note I found out the Razor's need a smaller diameter lug nut, the larger tire stores sell them. Be sure to remove the "keepers" on your lug nuts before you install your wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased Gunmetal 20's. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-HR705710/?image=large Some of us experienced wobbling after installing Razors. These hub rings help make the wheel fit snugger on the hub which eliminates this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These hub rings help make the wheel fit snugger on the hub which eliminates this problem. Is this the specifc size set that we need? I saw there is plastic and steel versions. As far as tires go. You might try 275s in the Nitto NT-05s. Same size will allow for rotation to the front if needed and will work on a 9" rim. the difference between the 275s and 285 is generally meaningless as far as getting the power to the ground if you have any significant modification. I have a set of NT-05s on my '00 Cobra R and really have liked them alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better traction, great ride and very quiet with the top down. wow, I am actually surprised to hear that the Razors are not hub-centric! What are hubcentric rings and their purpose? What size tire's are you Invos? I purchased Gunmetal 20's. a ring that is used to take up the difference between the car's hub and portion of the backside of the wheel that mounts to the car's hub. IMO, they are a very small detail that can make a big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasShelby Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 My Razors were fine then a couple weeks into it I got a small wobble, I took it back and they rebalanced and it did no good. I just had my Discount Tire order some, they were like $15 for the set and they put them on for free. In fact, the refused to charge me for the rings themselves because I've been a customer for so long. When I took my Shelby to the last car show, I stopped by and asked if they had a poster that I could display by the tires. They gave me a vinyl banner, coozies, tire gauges and other stuff to hand out as well. I'm running 255/35 and 285/30 Nitto INVOs. Much better traction (not great if you're drag racing) but the tire is much quieter, noticeable so with the top down. One tip, notice the bottom pic below. Have your tire man when mounting, align the center cap with the Shelby engraved spoke. Looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisssss Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm running Toyo Proxes T1R's. 275/35/20's up front, and 305/30/20's out back on widened Razors to 10.5" If I would have to do it all over again I would have widened my Razors to 11" and run 315, a few guys have done this with no major modifications or issues. Weldcraft Wheels link this is who widened my wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexxone_05 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Im really considering sending the wheels off to WeldCraft. Should I go with 10.5 or 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasShelby Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 So would I be safe running the 285's on the rear.Thank's for the tip. Will do. With a stock Razor, Nitto suggests nothing larger than a 275. I went 285 because I felt very confident I wouldn't be road tracking it. I do plan on widening this winter and looking at something around a 305 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
