Shelby GT350 owners: What's the perfect wheel fitment? Images & Details inside

[Zitrosounds]

Good evening fellow enthusiasts and Shelby GT350 owners. We wanted to make this thread because we have been getting a lot of phone calls and tons of requests via Mustang 6G forum and media channels in regards to different size options available and also what the numbers look like in each fitment.

Currently available are the R-spec 19x11.0" front and 19x11.5" rear. We recently fitted a 19x11.0" front and 20x11.0" rear, and furthermore we have had requests for a 20x11.0" front and 20x11.5" rear which Bulter Tire has fitted with Vossen forged wheels.

Considering that all three setups have been done and nice photography is available at difference angels, this would be a great place to make your comparisons.

We wanted to bring it in all one place and provide every single detail for each specific setup. We did not leave any information behind, we have done the homework so you don't have to.

We value all of your opinions and appreciate the feedback we have been receiving since day one on this awesome forum. It is for that reason that we want to bring everyone's thoughts, ideas, opinions, concerns, comments, and preferences in one place. Please take a moment to go through the different fitments and images and cast your vote. We have used this same process up to this point in manufacturing Project 6GR wheels, and now we want to focus in on the exact fitments enthusiasts want for their Shelby cars.

Thank you again for your feedback, we appreciate it and put it work in delivering exactly what you want. :cheers::cheers:

We are including the factory OEM Ford Shelby GT350 wheels as a starting reference point in the plus sizing process.

Yeah I got a magnetic car and i got to say that looks bad ass. When its time to take my PPF off I am gonna do a matte wrap. If you have any additional details on that car please post them up. Rims looks great !

Could the guy who owns that comment on the ride with the 20's and thinner rubber ??

Thanks appreciate the kind words. We have have spoken to a few 20" setups on the GT350 and as it is for the ride quality, it does not change much from the 19" to 20".

The fitment on this beast it’s a rotatable squared setup, measuring 19×11 305/30/19 (25MM Front spacer) wrapped with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3. Street and Track tested.. This fitment was achieved with a 19×11 50MM rear no modifications required and a 19×11 50MM front.
The front wheels do require a 25MM hub centric wheel spacer and extended studs for a perfect fitment.

Short anwser,those 20'' wheels fit great, IMHO, and those CG Series is really sharp.

Problem is I'd worry about the additional loss of riding comfort. Those skiny ass rubber band tires look perfect, but that ride must be that of a forklift.

*That particular wheel would look special on Magnetic*

My setup is slightly different with 305/20’s, 11” f/r but I can say with confidence that there is no discernible difference in ride quality on an otherwise stock setup.

Why not just run front wheels that are 25mm offset instead of run front 25mm spacers?
...and that car you posted above looks amazing.
