American Racing Shelby Razor Wheels Fitment

I am looking at the following wheel/tire set for my 05 Mustang GT:

American Racing Shelby Razor Wheels 20 x 9 with the +24mm offset

Nitto 555 tires
255/35/20 in the front
275/35/20 in the back

Does anyone know if there are any potential problems with this setup? I am planning on lowering the car slightly afterwards as well. Does anyone have any pictures?

Any feedback/input would be much appreciated!

only problem would be you wouldn't be able to rotate you tires for maximum extended tred life. thats why I went with a Nitto555 265/25/20 tire all the way around on my 24MM offset razors.

Do these wheels require special lug nuts? If so, who sells them?

Thanks!

Stock lugs won't work unless you have a thin walled deep socket.

I forgot the size to get, but I picked up a set from America's Tire Co (Discount Tires). Socket size is smaller than stock, allowing the use of an impact socket.

Hey gang,

Has anyone had any vibration issues with their Razors? I've had mine balanced three times now in two months and I get vibration/steering wheel movement at different speeds. Never had any of these issues with the stockers. I know with less rubber on the road, there is going to be a difference in the overall feel, but as I slow down or between 60-70 mph my steering wheel rotates back and forth. The Razors are hub centric correct? No need for hub rings, etc?

Thanks!!
