I put some gt 500 wheels on my car and im deciding if i should keep them or get cobra R wheels or all black bullitts.If i do keep them i will have to put a 1/4in spacers in the front because it scraps against the strut .what do you guys think about these wheels on our cars.the car is dirty,i havent had a chance to clean it.

the back is 285/40/18 and the front is 255/40/18.In the pics i was trying the 285 in the front to see if they will still rub,but they did to.

I've seen a couple places online that sell knock-offs of the GT 500 wheels and they have a specific wheel for 94-04 Mustangs and also a specific wheel for 05-06. I'm guessing that backspacing is the issue. In fact, I think the fake wheels are available in 17" and 18".

Looks like you've got some from SVT, so I'm guessing they are OEM wheels. Does SVT offer this wheel in only one size or is there another size for 94-04 Mustangs?

Looks nice though. I'd keep them for sure if it were not for the rubbing issue.

I like them, but a pic of them on the car sitting on the ground would be nice. Just to get a better idea of what they would look like regularly.

I see the difference now. I think I like the FR500's better .... because they're a little less "blocky" .... but those are nice.

FR500 ....

GT500 ....

I personally don't like them. I don't like them on the shelby and I certainly don't like them on our years. I'd opt for black FR500's or black bullitts. JMO

A big "No" from me....there's something about those wheels that just turns me off....I agree with Paul, they never should have been put on the Shelby...and they do nothing for our model
