Z-man Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Is the rear axle and brakes on yor car the same as on a 2007-2009 GT500? If so, I would love to hear how the 10" wide Razors clear the brakes and the alignment of the tires with the fender lips. Z-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I would love to hear how the 10" wide Razors clear the brakes and the alignment of the tires with the fender lips. Z-man Z-Man The rear brakes (and front) are different from a GT500. I am still using the stock Mustang GT rotors and calipers. At some point when I get back, I have a set of Power Stop rotors that I will upgrade to. However those are OEM replacements and not 'big brakes'. No issues with clearing the brakes since they are OEM and the tires definitely fill the rear wheel well. I don't have a picture of them from the back to fully answer your question but the tires are pretty much even with the fender lips. You can tell they are wider tires from the back. The Shelby Razor wheels I picked up from AmericanMuscle.com, but be advised they do not have the offset to clear big brakes, I think that offset is 42mm IIRC. I knew going in that I could not use a big brake kit and that was fine. I still owe pics and I need to find the thread on how to post them and I will get some up.
