UHG!!! I just got off the phone with American Racing and Bickford Ford. The 10" rear wheels I put on my car are the wrong offset. It has been bugging me all week long why Shelby would have missed the fitment on the rear of my car so badly and now I know. I originally had Bickford order a +41mm offset wheel, but what showed up is the +30mm. This has my tires sticking out about 1/2" per side.

I talked to Bickford about it and am confident they will get the correct rear wheels in for me soon (they are great to deal with and mistake happen).

This completely puts my mind at ease. Those of you who know me are well aware of how much things like funky fitting wheels bug me. Hopefully, in about a week, my car will have the wheel fitment I was picturing in the first place.

<huge sigh>

Yeah, I've gotta agree, that really looks like crap.





Glad to hear that they're taking care of you Brandon.
