Just bought a GT350!

[Richard Shannon]

I just went to www.vroom.com and I think I spotted the car you bought. It's marked sale pending, $50k and change right?

That is it! Can't wait!

Take a look at Forgeline, they have many nice looking high quality wheels. I think the GS1R is designed for racing, may be others designed for the track. Read some Mustang race teams use Forgeline

i would put some camber plates in, swap the tires and call it good. The stock brakes are totally fine unless your tracking every weekend. Isn’t this car for your kids to drive occasionally? This car is very capable 100 percent stock and it takes a lot of skill before wheels and brakes are holding you back.

I will be driving this myself as well, comparing this with my 2020 GT500 and the wife's Z07. This isn't like my old 2009 GT500, i am excited to give it a go! I'd like to compare apples to apples. I will be installing Girdisc rotors, pagid pads, and cup 2 tires on the GT500 as well. I had brake fade on my Gallardo, something I don't want to deal with if i can avoid it.

I live 13 miles from the new Ozark International Raceway. I really feel track days are going to be a part of life now!

Congrats! Happy tracking. Hope to check out the Ozark track after it opens. Im about 5 hours from the track. Wife's parents live in Jefferson City.

You will not have brake fade on this car, good luck and have fun

i run Signature Wheels SV503s in 19x11 form.

I am thinking of getting these in 11" front and 11.5" rear with 350R offsets. This should be OK WITHOUT extended studs correct?

 

[Richard Shannon]

for the cup 2's, say in the 305 30 19, the rim width range is 10.5 - 11.5. so technically you can run the CS-21 wheels which are the same size as the OEM non-R wheels (10.5 ET 30 and 11.0 ET 62) and run 305 30 19 all around. you could also run 315 30 19 on a 11" wheel. ideally you run 295 on 10.5, 305 on 11, and 315 on 11.5. but again it's all doable.

As stated above, could i not order something as the SV503 with GT350R offsets and in 11" and 11.5" width? Without a hub or stud change?

 

[Richard Shannon]

You know what, i had a small epiphany last night. In reality, you are only looking at .5" difference. And per beed, it is only .25". I think i will stick with the factory wheel size and get some relatively inexpensive, but track-proven Shelby CS-21s with 305 front 315 rear Sport cup 2 track tires. If i could just switch out to the CF wheels, i would consider it, but to spend hours of work to gain 1/2" in wheel width, I just don't see it. Not to mention the massive price.

So in conclusion I will be ordering the CS-21s or even a set of OEM takeoffs GT350 wheels and tires today.

Thanks for all the help everyone has given me on this project!

I want a set of wheels/tires for track and for the street.

Shelby American has a great selection of 11' /11.5rims

 

[Richard Shannon]

I don't see any wheels for GT350 that are 11.5"

 

[Bitten in '69]

The only wheels I've seen for the 350 by Shelby are 10.5" front/11" rear. The options for R model sizes are limited to Signature and Forgeline on the high end, and the reasonably priced Apex Racing SM10.

it's not only those 2 brands. also HRE, Vossen, BC Forged, Project 6GR, etc...

I kinda want a set of the CS21 for my 2020 350R. They aren't the exact same size but Shelby America says it will work.

That is a beautiful looking car. Good luck with it. What I don't understand is there are already 3 owners of the car and has 4500 miles on it. I know this car is not for everyone, but that amount of owners would scare me
