I was thinking about getting some RTR wheels. Just wanted to know if anybody had any pics of them on a GT500.

Thanks.

Search google for RTR wheels Shelby. Look at the images tab. Pictures will pop up of a grabber blue/red stripe shelby. It looks mean.

I would like to purchase RTR wheels but will not due to the poor offset (+33) for the rear wheels. Based on what I have read running a stock 285 tire will have the tire sticking out past the fender by 1/4 inch. I am going to lower at the same time and I think this could be troublesome. I wish CDC would build these with a 40/45 offset for the rear.

Yeah, that's what I have heard.. I saw the blue/red car and thought it looked pretty good. I wanted to see if anybody else had them so I could get a better idea of how much they will stick out..

Snake 500:

Car looks great. Would you mind sharing specs/parts on your suspension mod? What size of rear tire? Have you had any issues with rubbing?

The rear offset looks wrong. Why only a 275 series? Nothing wider fit properly? Would having them widened similar to what is needed for an Aloca solve the issue?
