Hey, I tried on a set of 07 Shelby GT 500 rims and tires on my 94 Cobra. The rims are 18" X 9.5" on all 4. The front tires are 255-45-18 and the rears are 285-40-18. The tires are on the tall side, especially the fronts. The fronts needed 1/2" spacer (used some washers to get the spaceing needed) to clear the strut and sway bar. The rears were put on with no spacers, will need a 1/4" spacer to clear the parking brake bracket. Needs a spacer, 1/4" min and possible 3/8" to move the rear tires out to the fender edge to look better. My car is lowered, have Eibach Pro kit for a coupe springs. The tall tires raised the car .5" front & .8" rear, but the fender gap got smaller due to the tall tires.
From my research, 05+ rims can fit with a 3/8" spacer all around being the GT rims are 8" wide, not the 9.5" wide on the Shelby rims. The back spacing on the Shelby rims are 7.21".

I have already bought the rims and tires (good price to pass up and I can sell them & make a few bucks). Anyone intersted? PM me :)
I'm on the fence on keeping the Shelby rims and selling my 03 chrome Cobras (9" front & 10.5" rears). Or just selling the Shelbys? Opinions welcome.
What do you think of the pics:

Looks sharp. I think with the proper sized tires it will be great.

If not, PM me what your looking to get for em and I'll get proper sized tires for em and stick em on my vert.

just get some 40 series for the fronts.

i personally dont like the new GT500 wheels. so my opinion about them on the SN95 wont matter. the 03's look better on it.

While I am a big fan of the 03 Cobra rims, those Shelby rims look so Hott on the SN-95 because noone else is doing it! Keep em, get some tire specs and some real spacers, it looks awesome! :mick:

Geeez o pete's,,,is that your garage? Lots of nice toys!!

Not really growing on me, the Shelby wheels. Maybe the terminator wheels, but not the Shelby's.
