SGT0128 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Same as above but you have come to the right place for answers. I'd recommend a forum search. Welcome to Team Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian9614 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I have 315's on mine, but have heard that if you do everything, like you said, then it is possible to go to 335's. 315's, just so you know, are more than enough tire for the car, and that is with slight modifications. It is stuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb64 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I am guessing that your 235 is a typo, and that you meant 325s for the rear. If you remove your upper bumpstop brackets, relocate the bumpstops on the rear (Zombeast has nice bumpstop relocation plates) and put on an adjustable panhard bar, you should be good to go. I had 325 50R15s (on 15x10 wheels, and swaybar relocation brackets) on my car all last season for the strip, and they had plenty of clearance. I also looked at widening a set of stock 18" wheels and then running 315s or 325s on them. A 315 tire will fit on a 11.5" wheel, but the 325s will need a 12" wheel for a good fit. Others have posted that they had 2" added to the back of the stock wheel, to give a total of 11.5" that worked well for them. If you check out Zombeasts S71 Weld Wheels thread under GT500 mods, he managed to get 345s on the rear. If you go to the extreme for tire size though, you will probably have to cut the dust boots off of the rear shocks, and possibly offset the lower shock bolt/spacers. So far, I have not had to do that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb64 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Missed the Super Snake part, which is a different setup than your average GT500 to start with Your best bet is to post your questions in the GT500 Super Snake section, to get first hand information relevant to your vehicle.
