Any issues with 20 inch wheels?* They are an option on the GT.

I put these 20" TSW Bathursts on my 2015 GT, and it looks so awesome.* The color matches the Magnetic perfectly, and the low profile is great.

Any issue with putting these (or other 20" wheels) on a GT350?* I'm thinking they'd be fine for daily driving, then swap out for track.

Thoughts?

Yes, there are problems.

Unless a wheel manufacturer has designed a 20" wheel that will accommodate our offsets and caliper clearance requirements then you find any available that will work without spacers.

I bought a set of N4S R-replica wheels in 20" and needed spacers for the front and the tears didn't have the desired fitment.

Another thing to consider is that these cars have the Magneride so I'd try to stick with a tire/wheel combo that was close to the OEM tire/wheel combo height.

There are members that are doing 20" some of which we have helped out, it all comes down to keeping the fitment desirable and accommodating a proper tire size close to and or exactly to the factory tire OD which can be done.

The Bathurst is a 20x10 ET 40 and a 20x11 ET 50, the rear sits the exact same to how the R is and the front is 16 mm short to the factory fitment let alone the R.

So what you would do is a 20x10.5 ET 25 to make it flush thats 5 mm more then the GT350 fitment and is only 7 mm short to the R fitment.

This thread would be beneficial here:

Let us know what your thoughts are, we were able to properly fit the 19x11 front and 20x11 without any spacers, having the fitment be 100% hub centric, clears the Brembo brakes, and does not rub at all.

Our number one priority when developing the wheels was to have a direct fit and also make available the sizes that enthusiast/owners wanted. Of course the 19" size being most popular. However more so than recently we have had many more requests for the 20" size, so we are back at it again to get that same amazing fit in the 20" size for the GT350 Shelby owners. Our 20" wheels were not intended to be used by the GT350, up until now... When the enthusiast talk, we listen. Our only regret is not having the fitment available for you sooner, on a better note, you were one of the first trend setters asking about the 20" size. :thumbsup:

We will be receiving our bespoke custom setups soon available in the blank configuration so that you do not need to use spacers in the front. We will be able to customize the fitment here in the United States as each owners request. At the end of the it will be a direct fit just like the R-specs we have in the 19x11 front and 19x11.5 rear.

:cheers:
