    Im either going with the Shelby torq thrust wheels or the Shelby Razor wheels in 18X9 and 18X10 rear. I just wanted to know what you guys thought look better. :guitar:

    I like both but the Torq-thrusts really aren't a big change, visually, from the OEM Bullit wheels. I would vote for the Razors.

    Although, just to mix it up a bit, I am really partial to the Shelby CS67 wheels.

    I like the CS69 wheels on these cars, although I would go with 20's. Here is a picture of staggered 20 inch CS69's on member ROSSGT car. Otherwise I prefer the razors.

    Personally, I don't care for the faux-bolt-head-look on the razors. I would go with the gray, torque thrust, if I had to choose between the two. My favorite is the vintage, magnum 500 wheel - the CS 69 (the gray color is called hyperblack.) I opted for this wheel, 18" gray paint, for my Shelby GT/SC convertible. I haven't had them mounted yet, but here it is:

    The Razors look extremely nice and the "Shelby" on the wheels looks cool, too.

    I like the CS66 Wheels but if you go with the Razor, go with the Light Silver to match the Stripes.

    I think the razors are the best looking wheel coming out of shelby, just my opinion tho.

    Best,

    I seem to be getting a lot of conflicting information regarding the offsets for the 20 x 9 American Racing Shelby Razor wheels.

    I have a 2005 Mustang GT and would like to purchase a set of these wheels for my car. I am wondering which offset I should go with (i.e. +40mm or +24mm)? I would prefer a more aggressive stance, but at the same time I do not want the wheels/tires protruding out from the fenders excessively. Some people say with the +40mm, the tires might be sitting in too far the wheel weld. While others say with the +24mm, you get about 1/4 inch of tire hanging out from the wheel welds.....and others say the +24mm is fine as the everything is flushed with the fenders......so I am very confused :unsure:

    Does anyone have the following setup on their car? If so, how is the fitment? Do the tires/wheels stick out at all from the fenders? Or do they just tuck underneath? I do not want to bottom out and have the tires go into the fenders :mad: Or should I go with the +40mm offset instead?

    +24mm offset all around
    255/35/20 tires in the front
    275/35/20 tires in the back

    Any help here would be appreciated :D

    +24 offset is for 94 to 2004 Mustangs, +40 offset is for 2005 and up Mustangs. Either will work on your 2005 but +40 is made for your car.

    Does anyone know what the fitment would be like with the +24mm offset.....with 255/35/20 in the front and 275/35/20 in the back?
