shelby wheels

[Ronstar]

my shelby wheels stick out just a little in the front. not bad doesnt really bother me but i have seen pics of other cars and they seem to be tucked in more.
im aware some guys move the centers outside but even ones not turned around seem to tuck in more than mine. do yours stick out a little? my car is a 90.
also can some one with the centers turned around post or send me a couple close up pics so i can see how it looks,especially the front where the center meets the barrel?

Thanks Ron

I think -=JEFF=- has done this ? He is running Shelby's

[-=Jeff=-]

I have..

currently my fronts have the centers on the inside.. when they were on the outside, you need a 3/16" spacer if I recall right. Right now with my fronts the wheels are right on the edge, I would say need to find some pictures for you

No spacers no rubbing.

Ron, What tire and size are you running on the Front.

Why did you move them back inside?

[-=Jeff=-]

I had moved them to the outside with a spacer for C5 brakes, then back to the inside for the Brembo set-up I had. when I swapped the Brembos for Wilwoods, I left the wheels alone. I could swap them again, but I prefer the look of them on the inside. I have the rears on the outside, with a 3/16" spacer and have thought of swapping them back, just not in a rush to do that

[Ronstar]

do your fronts set out pretty far?

did having the center on the outside scar up the polished lip that that it sits on?

[Tripler]

Wow ... Those tires look like godzilla scales ! Cool !

I attached a picture. But there was no marks or damage to the polished surface. Even if there was it is an easy fix on the Barrel

Yes

SO I think I can swap the centers back to the inside without too much issue. What front brakes do you have? OEM will not be an issue.. I need to check to see if my Wilwoods will cause problems

I have grand sport calipers on mine.
Seems to me it shouldnt matter if centers are inside or outside for brake clearance. The mating surface and wheel spokes (which is what usually causes fitment issues) will not change position with respect to the hub/caliper. what really moves is the barrel only. i guess it would move the thickness of the polished lip (not Much) not the thickness of the centers

[-=Jeff=-]

The C5 brakes needed the clearance for the face of the spokes and then a bit more for the 2 lips of the Barrels..

I think I will be fine, I just never looked into it. I will say that with the centers on the outside, the spacers made the wheel 'fit' a bit better
