Cobras55 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi was wondering if anyone new the widest rim I could put in the rear with NO adjustments to dust boot, etc. I'm currently looking at forgestars f14 's in piano black for my car .... was thinking 10.5 would be the widest but really want the 11 inch(315 tire)........ Also opinions please for my kona blue/white str. shelb,,,should I go with the gunmetal or piano black ?? THANKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickD Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 first, you can fit a 315 tire on a 10.5" rim. Whether or not you need to modify the bump-stop bracket and remove the dust boot is a factor of the wheel offset and your ride height in the rear.

KevinWitten Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Apparently you can go 11in with a 45mm offset. See Steeda wheels http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-chrome-spyder-wheels-for-ford-mustang.html Has anyone use 20x11 wheels with a 45mm offset? Did they work without modifications to the car?

xxxcobraxxx Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I've search all over and can't find any real good info on this. You would figure with all the awesome looking cars and wheels out there some one would have some good info. I've found Forgestar uses a 53MM offset on most Mustangs with the 20X11 but cant find any good pictures to see if they stick out. Most pictures are from the side and not straight on, closest one I found shows the tire may stick out if a 315 is used. I would really like to know for sure if someone has a good 20x11 wheel combo, what the offset is and if the tire sticks out at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickD Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 for reference here is a 20x10.5 with 45mm offset (295/30ZR20 toyo proxes 4s) dont know how a 53mm offset would look, i think it would stickout alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA Shelby Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Forgestar CF5 20/9, 20x11 My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA Shelby Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Tech difficulty with the link. The answer is that yes you can run 20x11 and the wheels will be flush on a lowered car. Google : forgestar cf5 shelby and several things pop up. Guy had coilovers so the car was lowered as well. He was running 305 in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, You car looks awesome. Judging by you specs, a +53mm with an 11" wheel would actually come in an additional 2mm. So with that it appears it would work and still stay under the rear quarter. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreemanmd Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I am currently running Steeda Sypders (20x9.5 front, 20x11 rears) on my 2010 GT 500. It is lowered with alot of BMR suspension stuff...there are no fitment issues with the 45mm offset, even with the big Shelby/Baer brakes. I have 275/35/20 Invos in front and 315/35/20 in back...the wheels are flush and do not stick out from the rear wells... Hope this is helpful...

KevinWitten Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks Jay, This does help. I am thinking of the same wheels/tires. My car is NOT lowered. Do you happen to know if these will work without lowering? I suspect that it will. I am currently running Steeda Sypders (20x9.5 front, 20x11 rears) on my 2010 GT 500. It is lowered with alot of BMR suspension stuff...there are no fitment issues with the 45mm offset, even with the big Shelby/Baer brakes.

randymarble Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 BEWARE - VOSSEN WHEELS - If you ever intend to put bigger brakes on the rear, the 10.5 x 20 Vossens will not clear the rotors. Found this out the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinWitten Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks for the tip on Vossen. What about the Steeda Sypders. Do they clear the Shelby Extreme breaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randymarble Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have no idea about the Steeda wheels. I am still reeling over the cost and no-benefit of buying the Vossen's. NEVER - EVER accept the words "They should work". Put the wheels on, they didn't hit the calipers. Drove about a block, hit the brakes and there is just enough 'float' to the calipers that they scratched the inside of the rims. No take-backs.....etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyd1 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Steeda's rear 11" spyder have a offset of 59MM,the fronts are9.5" with a 45MM offset. They say they fit no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
