Hmmm, 265's all the way around looks good. I gouged one of my +40mm's a while back but could not find a replacement since American Racing doesn't make the non Shelby version but I did find two +24mm so I picked them up. I will be putting them on once I need front tires so maybe I will go 265's

remember, the smaller the number offset, the more its going to stick out. the bigger the number, the more it tucks in thats what i was told and if I recall, the eibach springs sit a tad lower than the steeda springs. my steeda springs dropped me .75" in the front and 1.25" in the rear

I thought I was told just the opposite regarding 24mm or 40mm. Meaning 24 would tuck in more, hence being on the front and 40mm would be on the rear which would make them stick out more?

nope, I would know because I made sure of that before I bought my 24MM. the 24MM stick out flushed with the fender, 40MM sit tucked under the fender.

There we go..someone with the same suspension setup. Could you have went wider with the tires? 275's?? I dont want to go less than 275 on the rear since I have 285 now..

Great looking car man...What are you using for the detailing?

I've seen a 275 mounted on a 10" wheel and it looks HUGE compared to the same tire mounted on a 9.

I'm running the 24mm with 245/40 tires all around. I might go with a bigger rear tire next time or lower the rear more. You can click the 1st pic for a larger one.

Those of you running the 265's.....do you happen to have any shots from the rear of the vehicle, that shows the width well?

Also, do all of the Razors have the "Shelby" stamped into them, or can you get them without the "Shelby"? ...and if anyone has some opinions on best places to pick up a set, I'd be interested. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to go with Razors, but I'm leaning that way right now.
