255/40, 265/40, 275/35-40, 285/35 works. Look at tirerack for specs.

Punch in your current size and the new size to get a comparison on diameters. You probably want to stay close to stock.

Pick the tread width that works for a 9.5” wheel. 275 is good IMO +/- maybe a little depending on the tires. Tire Rack will tell you recommended wheel width for a given tire.

What shelby wheels did you go with? I've been looking as some CS5's myself in that powder chrome color.

I also went with the CS5's wrapped with 275/40R19 on all four corners.

Dude that looks so good. Great choice. What lugs did you buy? I've had mixed results with splines. They are mostly $20 to $30 or there is the $123 kit for the McGard from amazon?

Yeah they want $39 freight to ship $33 lugs to Hawaii. Lol.
I guess it must be more for Maui. 2 day shipping to Oahu is $22. But still expensive. Too bad there is no USPS option. Also, if you are military or a first responder, CJ will give an additional 8% off.

Oh yeah I have the % off code which is nice. Ended up ordering from amazon with free prime shipping. Doug the discount tire direct rep hooked me up with the tires and very reasonable freight too.
