Does anyone have some close ups on the 345s on a 11" wide wheels? I'd really like to run a 11.5 or 12" wide wheel on the rear. But no makes a style I like or price I can afford haha. 5k for wheels is ridiculous to me.

Mine came in today. I will install tomorrow morning and try and get some pics up here. But they are 345 on 11.5. So a 345 nto5r is around 13.25" wide. Freaking massive!:D

Here is some more info gentlemen.

Here are the specs of the factory GT350 Shelby wheels

Front: 19x10.5 30mm with 295/35/19
Rear: 19x11.0 62mm with 305/35/19

We have had many client test fit them before. They will fit and will function, however the front wheel is much wider and lower offset than you need for the GT. The GT350 Shelby fenders are wider in the front to be able to accomidate the extra width and offset.

Normally on a GT, we have pinpointed the setup to a 10" with 35mm, or if you would like to use the 10.5, the offset would need to be higher to ensure the wheels stay inside the fender wells. Your current setup on the GT with the GT350 wheels in the front is placing the wheels 11mm further out then what we usually fit.

If you really would like to use the wheels on the GT, you can upgrade your front fenders to GT350 or other aftermarket fenders like Anderson Composites.

Hope this helps gentlemen, let us know if you have any other questions, we are here for you. :cheers:

Your right there is a small poke in the front. Hasn't bothered me so far but we'll see what happens in the future. I took it to ford and they gave me the green light for the tire/strut gap. Hit a few back roads and beat her up a bit. Sticks to the road like glue and no rubbing. Couldn't have asked for a better set of wheels/tires. Thanks for the post bud I appreciate it. I've looked into the fenders before but they never come painted and I'm an impatient and lazy person lol

295/35/19 MPSS on 19X10" et 35?
Click to expand...
Here is what we have successfully fitted, it is a 295/30/19 and the Toyo R888R tire.

Here are the specs comparing the two tires:

Toyo R888R
Width: 11.8"
Overall diameter: 26.0"

Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Width: 11.9"
Overall diameter: 27.1"

We have pulled the numbers from the actual manufacturer. The width is not much different, however the overall diameter is. The example of our family member (SC Ruby -Dennis's ) is also using a 19x10 Project 6GR wheels in the 35mm, same as your example. Dennis's stang is setup on coil over suspension, what suspension do you plan on using?

Stock w/Eibach.

Since you will run the Eibach, here is a another comparison,

Here is another one of our brother's ride (mellowyellow Joe) We are using the R888 as well and he is on the Eibach Pro Kit suspension as well.

Comparison 1

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 295/35/19
Width: 11.9"
Overall diameter: 27.1"

Toyo R888 285/35/20
Width: 11.5"
Overall diameter: 27.7"




Comparison 2

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 295/35/19
Width: 11.9"
Overall diameter: 27.1"

Nitto NT01 295/30/19
Width: 12.32"
Overall diameter: 26.26"



In conclusion, since we have successfully fitted the Nitto NT01 in the 305/30/19 which has a width of 12.32" compared to the Michelin which is 11.9" However the overall diameter of the Michelin is larger, 27.1" compared to 26.26.

This is where the R888 tires come into play. The 285/35/20 having a overall diameter of 27.7" compared to the 27.1" Michelin will ensure that the 295/35/19 will work on the S550 lowered on Eibach Pro kit suspension.

Hope this helps. Let us know if we can help in any other way. :cheers:​
