for the shelby series 1 wheel owners

1-what tires and sizes are you running
2-do they bolt right up or are spacers required
3-also which lug nuts.



thank you

[-=Jeff=-]

I am running:
285/35R18 Front
335/30R18 Rear

I have Pirelli Tires

I have the centers of the wheels bolted on the outside of the barrel so I run a 1/4" spacer in the back. if you leave them assembled as stock (centers on inside) no spacers needed

I am using C4 Stock lug nuts with C5 Chrome caps, but have the tabs of the C5 caps removed

F: 275/35R18 Falken Azenis
R: 335/30R18 Toyo R888R
Would have gone R888R front & rear, but Discount said the front R888Rs weren't rated appropriately for the load rating of the car.

Bolted right up, no spacers needed.

I'm using locking nuts supplied by Discount Tire. The gent I bought the wheels from had included some custom locking nuts, but I had to replace as the key was twisted. The new ones are smaller diameter, which works better to give a little extra clearance around the socket, and allows the supplied socket/key to fully enclose the lug nuts when installing/removing.

Here's a few pics of fit. The fronts are right in line with fender edge with the 275s, the rears stick out slightly with the 335s:

so, if you wanted the rear evan with the fender well, how would one go about?

Move the center from the inside to outside.. then add 1/4" spacer

Wheel/tire tucks nicely under rear

Exactly. I've thought about it, but doing it hasn't been worth the effort to me. If I'm going to take the wheels apart, I'm going to have them completely refinished, and mine are currently pretty nice already.

Was going to sell mine because I bought a set of Fiske but just bought another z and I think I will be putting them on that car. The face on my wheels are on the outside and they bolt right on no spacer was needed.
