2020 GT500 15 inch drag wheels.

[gtformula]

First ever in the world 2020 GT500 15 inch rear conversion. I searched alot when planning and didn't find anything. One side done and fits. Other side is almost done. Will be driving to work on Monday with beadlocks lol. The brakes are from my old 2015 gt and I've had them sitting in a box the whole time waiting lol.

What did you do about the E-Brake?

 

[q6543]

You should go and break every micro record now.

Fastest stock pulley, blower, tune only, stock tune...etc.. just own them all.

Put a F'n 28x10 stiffwall and let it eat

Yes details would help.
Once retrofit if the GT brakes what other challenges remain?
That will give some serious traction tho!

I’ve said from the rip on this car I’d like it treated like a manual car and run a stiff wall bias ply tire on it to see how the DCT responds.
The DCT is an automated manual and I believe the GTRs run stiff wall slicks with success.
I like seeing guys push them envelope but I’m keeping my personal ‘22 closer to stock.

I unplugged the ebrakes for now. I'm going to see how to trick the computer into thinking it's still plugged in. If I just can't figure it out, I'll extend the wires in put them in a box in the spare tire well.

It's alot of work. Axles, spindles, hubs, drag brakes and lines, grinding, checking. It's very involved. More than i thought or planned.

I'll be running 325 50 15 drag radials for the most part unless there is a race requiring a 275 radial only.

Impressive man, thanks for having the balls to attempt such a thing on a higher end expansive Shelby.

I run M/T P325/35-18 ET Street Radials on my 2020 GT500!

M&H makes some good sizes as well.
I’m starting with R888Rs to keep the handling/braking but hope they’re closer to drag radials than these stock 4S Michelins (tho very impressed with these OEMs).

I'm going to run nitto 555rII drag radial for daily driving and then Mt pros for the track. The car "should" be at 850 rwhp in its current form on 93 Oct. In a year or so, I'll switch to a whipple 3.8 or twin turbo with e85.
