305's will fit the 11.5 wheels.
I have the OEM 295 front and 305 rears on my R spec wheels, they are a bit stretched but my car is lowered on FR springs so it actually helps.

Completely embarrassed to ask, as I know it will be obvious to everyone. What are the plates under your tires for? Where did you purchase them and why do you use them?

I use similar wooden boards to be able to slide the jack under the car and lift her up with a rubber stop at the sleeve... I suppose similar purpose?

Yes, it works really well on interior plastics and engine... I only bought a 30 ml sample to try it, but I think I'll get more as it looks nice. But again so does Reload on all plastics, we'll see if this Perl lasts longer.



Open up your bonnet and look where the air filter rubber seal contacts the hood. In time it will rub off the paint from vibrations... It did it on my track pack. Buy some 1/2" Xpel tape and follow that contour and cover it ( you will already see some marks for sure ).
Cheers
Thank you, So you are saying to put Xpel tape on the rubber seal or the actual mating point on the underside of the hood? Sorry newbie here, plus mine is still in storage so can't just run out to the garage and look at it.

Got around to a paint correction and ceramic coating. Sorry for the sideways pictures.

looks great. How do you like the color? I believe that is performance blue, correct?

We're under a county-wide "stay at home" order and the statewide order takes effect on Monday... but it was eighty degrees and not a cloud in the sky today. Amazing weather for a drive.

A local brewery is doing a curbside pickup for beer, so I ordered a six pack just to have an excuse to get out of the house. I got to have a couple good moments with the 350, but on my way back when I was planning on going full Smokey and the Bandit, I saw no less than eight police cars. Oh well, still was great to drive.

Got up early for an opening hour reconnaissance mission for eggs, clorox wipes, hand sanitizer and the elusive toilet paper. 3 hours, 5 stops later I got the eggs, bottled bleach, and Big Lots toilet paper. Then I filled up on 93 Tier 1 Shell for $2.53 / gal. She's in the garage, under cover and likely neither of us will leave the house for 10 days based on current food inventory.

I haven't driven the Shelby in two weeks... and it's my daily driver! Strange times...
Indeed. I even donned fresh protective gloves each time I got into the car. For some reason I thought the alcantara steering wheel needed protection from potential contamination. I am looking forward to opening up society again, but I hope people are smarter with the lessons learned from the collective smack upside the head we all have had.

Sure are! Thanks!
I'd love to get a set of FORGELINE (or HRE), I'm hoping a nice used set to come along. Love the other rim companies too but I went GT350 from a German car in part to 'buy American' so if it's the same cost either way I'm looking to get a US made wheel. Most of these heavily advertised ones are made in Asia even if the middleman is here

No no, not on the rubber seal . That will still rub on the paint if you do that. Line up some tape on the underside of the hood, where the rubber touches the hood.... I discovered it a bit late on my track pack, and it was marked (I did manage to buff it out with some polish and my electric random orbital sander) .
