Discount Tire is the place for the hook up on the tire pressure sensors.

This is the best deal around http://www.americanmuscle.com/tpms-fullkit.html You get 4-Ford OEM sensors, 4-bands and the syncing tool. That way you don't have to dismount your old tires and can use them again or sell them. I used it when I got my new wheels. The bands with this kit can also be re-used, unlike the OEM Ford. They resemble giant hose clamps with a worm drive screw to tighten.

Good looking tire! I would have gotten them but they don't come in the size I need. My brother is running the same tire on the back of his '68 Camaro in a 335 width and he likes them.

I have alittle problem with my wheel set up,after looking closer today,I see a have three wheels with a 40mm offset and just one with a 24mm off set ,I have already called and wrote ebay seller about this ,might have to wait until Monday to see what happens,should a stay with the 40mm ask for one more or go three more 24mm, I have been told that the 40mm are rare,this is the only problem ,hopefully just a over looked mistake by the seller,with the 40mm I will have to buy new ( longer ) wheel studs,this means braking down the brakes ???more cost added,thanks for looking in.

I love the look of that tread pattern, but I stayed away from them because I've read too many negative reviews about tire noise.

Right now I'm running Dunlop SP Sportmaxx in 275/35/20 all the way around. They are great, but very pricey @ around $250 each. I got a set of 4 off of craigslist with about 200 miles on them for $350. Next time around I'm thinking about a set of staggered Nittos, maybe Invos or NT 555's.

Good luck getting the offset problem straightened out. Hopefully the ebay seller will make it right without any hassle!

I ordered them from RT Tire and they came painted. Great customer service - I'd use them again.

What offset did you end up going with? +40mm is closer to stock.....+24mm is for a more aggressive stance and will clear big brakes if you decide to go that route down the road.

TacoBill runs 265/35/20 all the way round with no problems. 265 fits really nice on a 9 inch wide rim. The tire wall looks perfect (i.e. not bulging or stretched).......though I am very happy with my 255/35 out front and 275/35 in the back. I like the staggered raked look!

You made a good choice by going with the Shelby Razors! For the other post.....about black shelby razors....they do come naturally in black.
