Looks sweet. How's the handling with that much tire on the front and back? Any rubbing issues? I'm super interested in your setup

Thanks. The handling is insane! To be fair, the car has full UPR suspension, Ridetech coilovers, etc... so it handled well before. But with the 305s & 325s on it now, the cornering grip is ridiculous. As long as you're not getting crazy with the throttle (because it's also supercharged now ;) ) it will take corners it has no business taking. Today I was cruising around town experimenting with it and I can take turns in 35 & 45 mph zones (I'm talking about four way intersections like at a traffic light) without slowing down or touching the brakes. It's not quite right. I think I'll need to be on a racetrack to explore the limits of lateral grip, because to do that on the street I'm probably going to have to double or triple the speed limits, and I don't want to go to jail this week!

There is no rubbing. I'm super OCD with stuff like this. I spent easily 40+ hours researching fitment before I had the Forgeline wheels custom CNCed to my exact specs. They came out perfect. If anything, I'd pull a little camber out of the front & rear so they'd *look* more aggressive... but I'm a "form follows function" kinda guy, and the wheel specs I ordered were ideal for the camber I'm planning to run during HPDEs.

I've looked thru several pages on this post but haven seen the offset in looking at getting. Does anyone know how this would look?
Front: 19x9.5 +29 Offset
Rear: 19x11+56 Offset Deep Concave w/ 305/35/19

They checkout, but what wheels are these?

Offsets cant be provided under penalty lol

penalty of what?

Thanks for the reply! They are CF5's. I wondered if they will look concave. I don't know much about offsets.

Send me a pm ill help you out, I know just the right offsets ;) ;)

IDK no hugs or something like that.

Is offset a secret now or something?

Heres a new shot of the Super Deep Concave F14 setup we did for our customer's Mustang
This shot does a great job of showing the concavity and how they fit!
20x10.5 Deep/SDC

There goes my car, can't wait to show you guys what I got planned for her.

Looking to get a set of Advan GT 19x9.5+25 19x10.5 +25 I'm lowered on sportlines. How do you guys think fitment will be and what tire size would you guys recommend? And also what's a good price for these wheels?

Look on the last page. Im running 18x10.5 et22, and 18x9.5 et22 with a 6mm spacer (so et16 basically) im running 255 40 and 275 40. You might get away with 265 35 and 285 35, its gunna be snug out back tho

Do you think that if I ran this with a square setup in 19x10.5 that the fronts would work? I saw these on eBay for pretty cheap in 19s

 

[fordguys550]

i ran 18x10 et25 with a 6mm spacer up front (to clear GT brakes) and they fit fine. but 275 is all you can fit without adding extra camber

 

[fordguys550]

so yes, square would work, but only 275 up front

Thanks for the compliments guys. It was really important to me that I get this right. I'm poor, so I can't just buy a couple sets of Forgelines a year. This was like the cliche, "measure TEN times and cut once!" ;)

I'm sorry, I don't have proper "fitment" pics yet because I've been thrashing on the car to get it ready for display this weekend, but here's a car wash pic which gives you a better idea of the fitment. It does poke, but very little. It certainly doesn't rub anywhere. I was going for GT350R style fitment. I think I nailed it in the back. IMO, the fronts are too high offset on the GT350Rs... I didn't want that. So I ran the exact same sizes (19x11 & 305/30) on my front tires as the Shelbys do, but with the proper offset to get the front poke to match the rear. In person, the edge of the tread tucks but the sidewalls poke.

To me, it looks like you have a it of stretch in the rear and a bit of bulge in the front.

I would have gone a slightly slimmer tire vs a 305, maybe a 295 or 285 so the front / rear profile would match.

Or even wider in the rear like a 335 or 345 if it'd clear.
