Maybe I am just too picky, but I just put a set of 20 x 10" Shelby Redline wheels put on the rear of my '08 GT and am really shocked that Shelby missed the fitment by so much. I have an adjustable pandard bar and when I get the rear end centered, the wheels and tires stick out .600" on each side! No, I am not one of those idiots who put 345 series tires on the car and expect perfection. These are 285s on 10" wide wheels. Tire overhangs the wheel by about .150" per side. Absolutely perfect, per wheel to tire standards.
When the car is on the ground, there is about 1" space to the closest thing the tire could possibly come in contact with, and that is completely unlikely, as the rear would have to slide into a curb to make it move that far.
I guess I was expecting the tire to stay at least flush with the rear fender, as that is how I have seen many other new Mustangs with 10" rears fit.
Does anyone else have a 10" Shelby brand wheel that fits like this?
I am going to talk to Baer Racing to see if they can sell me modified hats and caliper brackets to try and gain a tiny bit of narrowing, but if not, these wheels might end up on the auction block and I will buy something different.
Just curious who else has run into this.
