I emailed Shelby about buying the rear wide body panels, they said they do not sell direct, they have to do the work.

Jamie had asked me over a beer if the rear CF wheels could be widened to work with the widebody. Do you happend to know the width of the rear shelby wheel? Do they use any spacers?
I don't see why you cant cut a rear wheel down the barrel and extend it. Reinforce the fill with a layer of CF on the inside and outside and it should be perfectly fine.
I'll keep my eye out for a few rear wheels that are worthy of an experiment.

Many more beers where that came from if you are successful in getting CF wheels to fit my car......
Just sayin'
Edit: they are 13' wide and they are pushed out the hub thickness (backspacing). I can get you the offset as well. I have a picture somewhere on my phone.

I'm your huckleberry
I knew I had a picture. 20x13 with +11 offset. No idea what the backspacing is though.

keep a sharp eye out for rear CFTP wheels.I'm your huckleberry

My only concern is the cold joint on either side of the cut. With enough reinforcement, it can be overcome. It's a lot of forces to deal with.
Is there a wheel structural engineer in the house?

quite the story behind that car.Car arrived about 2 hours ago, Shelby did a fantastic job!!! It looks like ford built it that way. Or at least like they should have made it that way.
Very nice.
