Picked up a Comp Orange Today

I think Mitch said you needed to relocate shocks anything bigger than 11"

Damn that sits nice! I can't believe people were talking shit about those wheels!

Thanks Man. Most comments are the 15 in General. I could care less.

Is there anyway you can take a couple of up close pictures of the rear wheel clearance? 20x11 (+53) is what I ran on my S197 with no issues...there was even room to run 5mm spacers (with my 295 tires). I was hoping that since this car has IRS now, they should tuck inward allowing a little wider of a setup.

I am working and will look tonight. There is more room than my 13 had. If I remember right these are +55mm offset but I am not 100%.

It is pretty tight. There is about 3/4 inch on the inside shock mount. You might squeeze a 12" in there if you push the tire right out to the fender. These are tucked in about 1/8.

I dunno, according to Norm that's a shitload of space.

I'm still over that.

Thats A LOT of space in my eyes as well. Of course it could be the angle of the picture but overall it looks like 12's "should" fit with a maybe a 305 tire. I guess I won't know until I try..

I agree. Maybe I shouldn't have typed its a tight fit.

After looking at it there is some room in there. I have a 305 on in that pic so you see there is some room. The rim is an 11" but it measures 12" edge to edge.

Finally drove it today.

Did you plasti-dip or paint the horse in the grill?

Well, seeing that Ford crammed 305's under the rear fenders on the GT350 already, it seems they will fit just fine. AFAIK, they only widened the front fenders to fit the wider track & 295's up there, the rear is unchanged.

Gorgeous car!

 

[HEMI LOL]

Wheels still look like shit on it, mainly because the color. Great stance other than that.
