Carroll Shelby Wheel Company CS-5s

I ordered my CS5’s (Saturday) from CJ’s and they arrived today (Sunday) literally the next day with the free shipping option.


I opted for the 9.5, what tire size is everyone running?

305/35/19 Rear, 275/40/19 Front. As soon as these tires wear out, I'm going to run 325/30/19 Rear and 285/35/19 Front. Current drop is BMR minimum drop springs, the amount of drop with the current tires is just right. When I go to the larger front and rears, I plan to use Ford Performance springs. The added drop will take up the smaller diameter tire to fender gap.

Thanks for the reply, I am also running the BMR lowering springs.

I put a set of CS5 in gunmetal on my 15 Race Red GT with 305/35/19 rear and 285/35/19 front.
It looks awesome! I went from the Black PP wheel to the gunmetal and wow, what a difference. The car looks aggressive and now has a mean look! Absolutely great choice!

I wish I would have went with a wider tire in the rear...maybe 315 or 325 in the future.

Looks great. What tires did you use? I am having a hard time finding tires of the same brand/model for staggered wheels.

I put Michelin Pilot Super Sports 305/35/19 rear 285/35/19 on the front. Absolutely pleased with how they look!

Is the 285/35/19 the run flat type or regular

The CS 5 has hit all my expectations and some. First of all I went from a 20 inch wheel setup which was very harsh and I really did not like the look of the giant 305/35/20 rear tire 28.4 tall. Moving to 19s the ride is so much better. All the harshness is gone. Went with Nitto G2 285/35/19 fronts and Nitto 555R2 305/35/19 rears. Love the look and traction with the stage 2 whipple kit thats on the car. Car is lowered with BMR Performance springs.

Need to thank the Discount Tire Direct rep on this site. He got me the tires for a great price and very reasonable shipping to Maui. Mahalo my friend.

My only question is the torque setting. Paperwork says 85-95 but we all know ford says 150 ft lbs.
