LAST500 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Had another set of wheels custom made for the GT500. 3-piece brushed aluminum with clear powder coat. Very aggressive fitment, but no rubbing. fronts: 20 X 9.5, with Goodyear Eagle F1 285/35/20 rears: 20 X 11, with Goodyear Eagle F1 305/35/20 PM me, if you want a similar setup.

txcobra Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) These look great! What springs are you running? Does Brembo make a rear caliper upgrade to fit our cars? Wheels that nice that show off the calipers and rotors that well need something nicer in the rear. It looks like you painted them which does improve the looks for sure. Congrats.

Way nicer than the stock wheels IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Nice look. What's the wheel make/style? On 11's, a 305/35 should have little or no rubbing issues even if lowered. It's when the tire gets squeezed that it really starts pushing things, especially if distorted at speed. Cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'm starting to think you get your money off trees to be able to do all of this without feeling guilty about it lol. What brakes are you running? Did you have interior by kartoys done yet? I asked Toan if he had any pics but haven't got a response back yet.

Im not a bettin' man, but if I were going to take a stab at who made those I'd go with ADV1. I have no grudge against him, Jordan seems to be a straight shooter, and his wheel designs speak for themselves. Very nice looking wheels, whoever made em.

I'd be interested to know what kind of offset you are running. I'd like to get to similar dimensions for rubber, but not sure on that wheel design, or if I'm ready to pay the price for custom wheels. Looking at either widening my factory wheels or going to a CS1. Looks good though, love the stance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at either widening my factory wheels or going to a CS1. Looks good though, love the stance! Using the OE 20" x 9.5" wheels as a reference point, there's only about another 1" - 1.5" of additional inboard clearance before you need to use spacers, remove shock covers, use different suspension components or start moving things around. Given the OE wheels' 45 offset, adding another 1.5" would result in a +/- 63mm offset, presuming the outer edge of the rim remains in the same position relative to the fender. Given how relatively narrow a tire 305s are on an 11" wheel, it'd be interesting to know if he needed to move the entire wheel farther outboard by reducing the offset.

Tob Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I dig the move to a proportionate increase in rubber up front to match that done out back. Nice selection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAST500 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The wheels were made by the company who makes ADV's wheels for them (they look very much like them). No ADV logo on them, so they were less money out of my pocket. I will try to find out the offset. It was not a slam dunk. Had to shave 3 mil of the front wheel pads and 2 mil off the rear wheel pads, to insure no fender rub. Fortunately the wheel hubs are Pretty thick so no issues there. There is about 2-3 mil clearance between my front caliper and the wheel spoke. The leather interior is still a wait for. Hope fully done in a few weeks. For the brakesI I am updating the rears to Shelby's rear brake kit for 2013, and also updating my front brakes with their 2013 front rotor. 2 weeks away. They will be cross drilled and slotted of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If possible could you weigh the differences between the wilwood front and rear kit compared to the stock ones to see if there are any weight savings?

Does not look like 35 series tires They are thin looking like 30's ones You're sure they are not 285/30/20 & 305/30/20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to get the Shelby rotors that are being released for 2013 cars. They are supposed to be already drilled and slotted. The tires are 35 series, not 30 series.

Madlock Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I must've missed the buzz about the new 15" Shelby rotors. Not a fan of drilling, especially on a rotor with so much mass, but I'd love a slotted set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK for the tires...my bad. (I have Michelin SS in 285/35/20 and it is way thicker than your Goodyear - that's why I asked). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well perhaps the 14 inch 4 piston rear would make up the difference? I mean hey shelby did it with the super snake. They claim those brakes are better. Key word "claim".

LAST500 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 What I am told is that the Shelby rear brake kit matches the 2013 gt500, which is approx. 14 inches. Shelby is supposed to release a 15 in. cross drilled/slotted rotor that I can substitute for the front stock rotor. They should ship within a couple of weeks, and I will provide an update.
