Whats up Im new to the 11 5.0's. If i want to get a set of fronts do I need the 17x4.5 like I did on my cobra or do i go with another tire? I do plan on upgrading the front brakes though. Also i have some 28" tires on a 16x8 inch rim. Will my car work with 15" stars? I went with 16's due to irs.

Stick with the 17x4.5's, they will work up to a 16.3" Brake.

15x8's, direct bolt on, no modification, 15x10's, you need a sway bar reloaction kit, not a big deal, but you do need to move the sway bar up

17x7s and 15x8s. 520$ shipped. I will be calling you. I get paid friday

No problem, sounds good

Going to bed now, 11:00 is my limit for taking orders, lol.

Thanks for all the orders guys. Busy night!!!

11 pm customer service, can't beat that with a stick!!!!! :)

On the 15x10, what size tire do you run to get a 28" tire height? For ET Drags, i think I read 275x60x15s would work. Anyone know off the top of their head if that's right? Or do those work better on 15x8? Or do I need a slick (not a radial) to keep from shifting to 5th in the 1/4 with my 3.73s?

an et drag will be listed as a 28" tire, not as a mm,

Do I need a sway bar relocation kit for the 15x10's on a 2012 GT500? I thought I read somewhere 10-12 didn't need it.

sway bar needs to be relocated over 8", and i have sizes up to 15x14 fyi , lol

Calling in the morning for some s197 offset 15x10s. Helllllll ya!

again, phones are standing by!

Just ordered my set, now its time to see what this car can do with traction below 70 mph! Thanks again beef, between this and the injectors it was a major savings.

I believe the ET Street DR will work better with your auto.
I have a stick. I've used streets in the past on my 00GT with a stick as well. I was trying to have traction on the street with something being somewhat legal and still having streetability...but not really wanting to go with drag radials. I was thinking ET Streets were that, but I was really thinking of ET Drags in my mind.
