The aftermarket wheels look OK but without being able to drop the car 1" all around itll never look great. Just too much wheel gap. Lets hope Ford Performance solves that in the near future.

Besides looking great.

How do you compare the difference's between the new set up to the originals ?
The way your car accelerates, braking & handles ?

Yeah lets compromise handling and suspension travel for aesthetics. Not to mention the front end will be nearly impossible to get in any drive way, even with the current ride height and tall tires it can scape in some moderate driveways. Go to the R wheels and drop it an inch and you are going to be driving around like this import kids taking driveways at 70 degrees while you hold up traffic

I like to disassemble things.

You raise a good point. Any drop is going to have to be very minor.

Comparing the front wheel gap to an R (thanks fuhruis)... the gap is basically the same with the R carbon wheels vs the Project 6G spec R wheels:

IMO there is no need to lower the SHelby its perfect, and this is a lot coming from someone who slams his card to about 1" off the ground.

I bet you will change your tune if you saw the same car down 1" all around ;)
Yeah I agree. It needs a drop but I'm not willing to sacrifice performance to get there. I think I am going to run 305/35s MPSS all around to minimize the gap until there is a solution.
