GT500 Drag Setups

[Myshelby3425]

What are everyone’s plans getting the GT500 to hook on the street and strip? The brakes in the rear give us very limited options on wheels and tires.

no, im waiting a bit longer to order a set though hoping some more offset/wheel info is out before my car gets here. Id like to order fronts as well and 1 full purchase, instead of rears for day 1, then wait 3-4 weeks for fronts

Pretty sure offset is going to be like the GT350 in the rear. Haven’t seen any GT350s run an 18 in the rear though. Spoke to Terry and he told me there was no drag options available for the GT350. Fronts we won’t be able to get anything under 20 unless something is custom made or brakes are swapped.

users in the FB 350 groups say they run 18s, and it makes sense, since the 500s rear brakes are 370mm vs 350's 380mm

Hopefully.. Only difference throwing it off is the electronic E-brake.

Yea but they won’t be ideal when making 900+hp.

MT ET Street R is prob the best tire I’ve owned as far as grip.
