Venom4U Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I know this was posted prior but I was unable to locate it. I’m looking to purchase a spare & rim that would fit in the event of an emergency. What size and or like rim would I need to clear the calipers? As always thanks for your help.

Jer Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Email Brian Turner here: BrianT@ShelbyAmerican.com We can get you a spare wheel. It will just barely fit in the spare tire well, and will be approx. 2 inches taller, so the trunk floor will not be flush without modification. But a full-size spare is the best insurance to carry.

Don Johnston Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I would be interested as well. However, what type of tire is used since the standard Goodyear tires are directional. I assume the spare is not and is on a steel rim. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1sgt Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I was thinking how about a spacer ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TClark24CP Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Beware, a tire/wheel combo which is the exact same as what came on the 2011 GT350 will NOT fit in the spare wheel cavity. A smaller diameter tire is required. Probably a 40 or 35 series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom4U Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 you are correct. it takes up the whole trunk no room for anything. I use it for long hauls only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
