2BIGFRED Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ok guys I know they cost more but when I saw them in powdercoated black I knew I needed them. What do you guys think about those rims? I love them I like them better then the other ones. I figured tire sizes would be 295/35 rear and 255/35 front on the nittos.

COBRA SCOTTY Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Ok guys I know they cost more but when I saw them in powdercoated black I knew I needed them. What do you guys think about those rims? I love them I like them better then the other ones. I figured tire sizes would be 295/35 rear and 255/35 front on the nittos. I think they will look awesome Fred. However, i think you might be cutting it close with the FR3 suspension on your SGT and the 295/35/20 in the back. I am running the Alcoa's with the Nitto 285/35/20 and I will show you a picture of my fitment and you can decide. I personal was worried about bottoming out on the lip of the wheel well and went with the smaller 285/35/20's. Here's A couple pictures.

jmn444 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I know the offset is different than mine, but my 295/30/20's fit great... they are the same diameter as the 255/35/20's I run on front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BIGFRED Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Do you think I should go with 285 35 on the rear then? Im just trying to get it figured out before I order everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BIGFRED Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Where do you all think the best place would be to order from? I figured straight from the Shelby store. I plan on ordering the rims tonight, Here is what I have so far I will need to order rims..lol center caps lug nuts tires..lol--- I just need to figure out sizes which can wait I need to get rims first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBRA SCOTTY Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) I hope these pictures helped you Fred and you might want to take a look at a site called www.rttire.com thay ahve very nice Shelby wheel packages and they are a little easier on your wallet.

jmn444 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Scotty, do your rims sit such that the tire would hit on the tread or on the sidewall if it hit the wheel opening lip? Just curious, it looks like a 285/35 is taller than a 295/30... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, it looks like a 285/35 is taller than a 295/30... The math seems to support your statement with the 285/35 being slightly taller than the 295/30... Just curious, what is the widest tire that can fit under the front without rubbing issues...anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I've seen 265/40/20 (99% sure that was the size, going from memory, but it was kinda odd to me so pretty sure i've got it right...) up front before, and the guy said no issues, but haven't seen anything bigger than that.

2BIGFRED Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Like this? Yep that is them. After thinking about it I am going to order straight from the Shelby store. What do you guys think good idea? I am going to order tonight and get the center caps and lug nuts tonight. I am going to wait and buy tires after the rims get here.

2BIGFRED Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Well this rim thing has got me stressed. When I add up the badass Supersnake wheels oh my the price is crazy. I love the look of my foose wheels now the black and silver but cant get bigger brakes. So I looked at the 05-09 Shelby Razor Series 197 Wheel, 18"x9" w/ 6" BS, Black they look like my wheels now and I could sue my tires. I have the new good year tires and they are great. But im not sure if the bigger brakes will fit on the 18 inch razors?? Oh well I may just wait and see what happens for Christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2BIGFRED Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Is there any 18 inch Shelby wheels that allow for the bigger brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
