Chair_Force_One Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Guys, I kinda like the razors on American Muscle, and I really like the prices, but I really want a staggered fit, with 10's in the back.... What affordable rims will allow me to get that staggered fitment I want???? http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-shelbyrazor-0509.html#shop-by3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Bogdanich Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Razors are classic, I would do the silver with the Blue , Black might be too dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What affordable rims will allow me to get that staggered fitment I want??? You can get staggered Razors that will fit a GT500 as long as you have the stock brakes. AM sells 10" wide Razors with the correct offset to fit the back of our cars....they may not have updated their "fitment guide" to list the GT500 yet.

If the center of the wheel is designed to arch out enough to go over the outer pistons of the brake calipers. The 20 x 9 razors will fit over the front brakes as long as you get the 24 mm offset. The 20 x 10's will fit over your rear brakes as long as they are stock, not aftermarket multi piston calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlugs Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Since you asked, my favorite wheel style on the S197s is still the CCW SP500: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chair_Force_One Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Opinions, IF I go with razors, should I go with 18s or 20s? Will 20s reduce drivability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlugs Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 20's will give a harsher ride, likely slower accelleration and potentially worse handling (greater unsprung weight). Main advantage of 20's is ability to fit really big brakes... and many people think bigger just looks better. (my opinion only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Jerome Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Don't know if they fit your price limit, but I'm very happy with the CS40's I put on my '07 Vert. Also bought them from American Muscle and went with the 20 x 9/10 staggered fitment in the silver machined finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chair_Force_One Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ugh, does anyone have a good contact at AM... every bone head is telling me the 20x9 will not fit over the front calipers... frustrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ugh, does anyone have a good contact at AM... every bone head is telling me the 20x9 will not fit over the front calipers... frustrated... There are two different 20x9's. the 24mm offset and the 40mm offset. the 40mm will not fit over your brakes, but the 24's will. So just make sure that you get the correct 20x9's. However, looking at the web site, it looks like they only stock the 24's now. If you click on the fitment screen it shows the GT500, so what do the sales reps on the phone say about that? Correct, they did not used to stock the 24's, so it's possible that the sales reps you are talking to do not know that. They just started selling the 24's again about 6 months ago. There's many threads on that here if you look up Razor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chair_Force_One Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 They say the fitment guide has not been updated yet stating they won't fit. Just to confirm the 20×10s will fit the back correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Anything you want to know about the Razors, which ones fit, which ones don't and why can be found here. I have pics in this thread of why the 20x10's will not fit the big brakes but the 20x9 24mm's do. If your rear brakes are stock and you will not be adding multi piston calipers, then yes, the 20x10s will work great on the back. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/70742-can-anyone-help-with-shelby-razors/?&p=1211179&hl=razor&fromsearch=1&do=findComment&comment=1211179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chair_Force_One Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks Jeff for the info. If I put on the 20s, how much should I lower the car? Will the kr handling kit lower it enough to look right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJ Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 That's all a personal choice. If you like the way it is now, there is no reason to lower it at all. I personally do not think the KR springs lower it enough, but that is my opinion. If it were me, I'd be using a kit that will lower it about 1 1/2" - 2" in the back and 1 1/2" in the front. If you do that, you will also need an adjustable Panhard rod to re-align your rear end under the car. As you lower it, you will push the rear end over to the drivers side of the car and the tire on the 20's will stick out the drivers side and be equal or under the car on the passenger side.
