Those with 24mm Razors what exact wheel did you order

I'm ready to order my Razors but since I plan on getting them powder coated black I do not want to mess up and order the wrong wheels. I've already decided on the 24mm offset versus the 40mm and I think I can get 265/35/20 all around without rubbing but I want to see what others bought. I plan on installing the FRPP springs, camber plates, panhead bar, and rotorpro rotors when the wheels go on if that helps. I've searched but couldn't find specifics on the wheel only tires.

Thanks -

OK, well hopefully you have some better luck because I have gotten a lot of information on the Razors over the last couple of weeks, specifically the 24mm offset.

I am getting the "Shelby" version and from what I know of in that version is that currently the 24mm are on hold (backorder) due to the changes they are making to the offset to work on the GT500's big brake package. They will actually be 22mm offset. I just saw a box they came in a couple weeks ago and it listed +24mm (+2) on the side. These where chrome Shelby's for a GT500.

Now for the American Racing version I have heard (don't quote me because I am not AR) that they are canceling the AR version and the razors will only be "Shelby Razors" from here on out. I would call American on that to be sure.

In regards to color I would thing the "Painted Silver" or Gunmetal with the machined lip would be your best bet if your going to paint them. Don't get the chrome.

I know I couldn't find +24mm razors anywhere in the Shelby version but hopefully you will have better luck with the AR version.

You also shouldn't have any rubbing issues with 265's all the way around. I plan to go with 275's on all 4 with the 40mm version.

Hope this helps.

It looks correct yes.That offset will also push the rim past the fender. Just verify the bolt pattern. Who are you purchasing from?

I was going to get them through an ebay seller since he had the 20" for 475 + $80 shipping but they no longer have any at that price. I'm going to go through a local dealer. He can't match that price but its still a good deal.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the rears as I think it could be a bit wider or with more back spacing. The +24 should put it right with the fender

Yes, the 24mm offset will put the rims at the edge of the fenders. It's a really nice look. I have 275/35/20 in the back and 265/35/20 in the front. I have heard about someone running 275's all the way around without any rubbing issues, but I didn't want to take the chance. 265's all the way around is a good choice if you want to be able to rotate the tires. 255 is just too thin of a tire. I bought my rims from summit racing. Only $240 a wheel and also signed up for their card and got 6 months no interest.

Did you used to have 255's in the front? You sig still say 255's

Looks sweet though. I have gone back and forth with these that pic shows a real nice look.

24mm with 275s all the way around put me 1/4-1/2" outside the fender and I had slight rubbing issues on the front.

I ended up going back to 40mm, 275s on the rear, 255s on the front.
