If you do, I'd be willing to buy your AR center caps.

Don't think so.
I just used the contact form on AR's website to email them, takes them a couple days to get back to you, but they do reply

I just wanted to say thanks to all who posted pics in this thread. I have been considering wheels for over the last few months and based on what I saw posted and talked about here came to a decision that now that I have them on, am TOTALLY stoked with.

I bought 20" Shelby Razor's Chrome with the +24MM offset and put them on 265/35/R20 Nitto's all the way around and I couldnt be happier with the look.

I'll post a side pic I took the day I put them on, but will get out one of these days and take a much nicer pic of them on it.





thanks much
Andretti

any american racing dealer can order them. They are anywhere from $30-$50 each depending on how much profit the dealer wants to make. Dealer cost is $25 each.

What's the largest tire you can put on a 20X9 Razor wheel if you have the Eibach Pro kit?

The tire width has more to do with rim size you really don't want to go any larger than 275/35/20 with a 9" rim. You can also look on various tire sites that shows recommended rim size for a particular tire size. I went with 275/35/20 on the rear with mine with the pro-kit and no rubbing issues what so ever. The rims are 40mm offset.

Well they finally came out, so I got em.
18X9 40offset Shelby Silver Razors with Nitto NT 555 255s
These photos are just quick ones since my car is filthy since it rained on my way home from the body shop yesterday, and my car of course is missing the front stripes on the newly painted bumper. The 40 offset fits perfectly in the fender. It really sets the car off just that little bit more

The offset of the wheel is the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the hub of the wheel.



If you look at mustangdaren's wheels above, they are the 40mm offset and the center hub of the wheel is close to the outside edge of the rim. The picture of my car below is the 24mm offset razor. The center hub is farther back from the outside edge of the wheel. The outside lip is wider. BTW they are 275/35/20 Nitto 555's.

Dan,

Thanks for the pix. I'm thinking about putting 18x9 40mm offset silver razors on my vista blue SGT, so this gives me a idea of how they would look.

? to MustangDaren:

I have WBlue too, but I am thinking of buying 20" Chrome. Why did you choose the silver VS chrome with Wbue. Do you you think Chrome is too much Bling?
Thanks
