The rear suspension width on the 2 cars is different. It's an E brake thing: electronic vs manual. The wheels are also different. The GT500 CFTP wheels stick way out on a GT350R.

The CF wheels in the R aren't going to tuck IMO. But for the OP, please let us know how it goes.
Yes the CFTP wheels are only ET50 if I recall. Again, I don't think Ford wanted the 350R wheels to poke its just that the wheel technology/strength wasn't perfected at the time they were ramping up for 350R production. Obviously, they nailed it with the CFTP wheels.

Not taking a shot here, but it’s funny how most folks with cars that come tucked in are looking for the flush look with spacers and wider wheels/tires. Only a guy who has that sexy look stock would want to pull it back in…to each his own, just an observation.
Yea, I love the car, the poke isn't a huge deal but you know how everyone likes to make small modifications to their cars and getting a flush or tucked in look kinda makes me happy. Not a big deal just a small preference......

Funny but I never really noticed the "poke" until now...always just visually saw it as flush and an aggressive, super wide rear stance...seeing the "poke" now after you raised this, and totally see why the flush look is what you're seeking. Always used spacers on my other cars to get that perfectly flush look...this is my first car that has the opposite stance...but a good problem to have as I LOVE how insanely aggressive that rear rubber looks from the back :)
