Great looking cars.

What is that in the lower grille on the ShelbyGT? Fog lights, Brake Ducts?

I don't think I've ever noticed that before.

I love the look/stance of the 07 Shelby GT/SC - I'm going to guess 255/35-20's up front and 275/35-20's rear on 20x9 Razors, FRPP suspension? Can anyone confirm?

I think your right on all accounts other than the rear tire size. They may be the same as the fronts. Brian can fill us in.

I'm running the tire sizes you state but on 20x9 front and 20x10 rears with a little more offset to keep the tires a little more tucked in at the rear wheels.

You guys need to prepare that photo shoot with an article for one of the magazines. Maybe the new Shelby mag. The more I look at this...the better it looks.

How about both. The fog lights are the outer ones and the brake ducts are the inner ones.

I don't remember the wheel size off the top of my head but will get them tomorrow for you. I know there is a good difference from front to rear in width.

A magazine write up I would not argue about...

Brian, you may be running the same setup as Adam. The tire size is the difference. 275 rears vs 255 front. The wheels are 9's front and rear. I will be interested to see if that's what they put on the car. It seems that is the setup that John W likes.

ROSSGT - any pics of your Shelby? I'm looking for that "little more tuck-in look" that your talking about - what offset are you running?

I am running Carroll Shelby Signature CS69 wheels in these sized:

20 x 9.0
CS69-295430-
255/35ZR20"


20 x 10
CS69-205445-
275/35ZR20"


Unfortunately they do not list the wheel offsets. I should just e-mail them to get this info. I have had quite a few request for the same info.

Here is a pic from the sides and rearthe rear shot dosen't give you a very good perspective though.

ROSSGT - WOW nice GT/SC! The garage looks great too! Thanks for the wheel and tire info, and the pics!

Side note: I have Carroll Shelby's autograph on the same Palm Springs Poster that you have hanging in your garage!

Thanks for the compliment. The tires sit right inside the fender edge. I have about a 1/2" between the tire and body edge. That poster has been in my garages since it was avalible for purchase. That one is not signed. The one just to the left of it is a signed limited edition watercolor of the 65 GT350 I won about 8 years ago at a Carroll Shelby Children's Fund Auction. I have a ton of artwork and nowhere to hang it. Looks like it's time for another garage.
