stevedm Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Looks good. Did you remove the bump stop and dust boot? Any wheel spacer needed? Weldcraft I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mike didn't try these out just to much salt and ciders on the road .I got alot of good feedback about these tires from other team shelby members. Best price i could find was $372.00 at Tiresdirect.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QUIKSVT Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 That looks AWESOME. So a few questions if you don't mind: 1. Did you buy these black to begin with or powdercoat them yourself after the widening? If you bought them black how did you coat the barrell or widened part of the wheel? 2. What did the widening cost per wheel? 3. Any rubbing issues? 4. Any other suspension mods to the car and do you think this would work on a GT500 lowered with FRPP springs? I think you may be responsible for a good portion of my tax return being spent fyi. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks perfect cant tell weather the wheels are on or off the car. Shouldn't have any problems with Frpp spring Thanks Tom :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enormous Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for the photos Taj. Can you post a close up photo to see how much tire bulge is evident between the rim and tire. I'm trying to choose between 11.5, 11 3/4 and 11 7/8 shod with the 315 r888. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj2010 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Very nice, how long after you ordered did it take for your wheels to show up? It took about 45 days to get them first time, then the 2 - 20 x9 got damaged in shipping then 2 more months for the other 2 to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTSnake Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hey Taj....looks awesome!!! That is exactly the setup I want for rear, only I may just go 11.5" in back. Can you post up some close-up shots of rear? Some from side& rear would be great.. Hard to see how that tire fits from the far away shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
