Love the look. The Shelby web site lists these for 2015 +. Any fitment issues?

Thanks! These are the CS5's which is the flow-formed version of the CS21's which are forged and made for 2015+ GT350's. The CS5 is good for 2005+. I still have to run a 5mm spacer up front to clear the Brembos though.

Tasefully appointed. Great satin look Sir!

Thanks!

Hi Sinister.First time posting so please forgive any errors. Love the look of the new wheels on your car.I have a 2009 ,same color.Can you tell me if your car is lowered,and if so,by how much.?,and if it affected the fitment and clearance.The Shelby site says a watts link may be necessary,did you need to use one? This wheel combo is pretty much what I have been looking for for some time.Also,which wheel spacers did you use on the front and did you have to change the wheel studs also? Any other info you can pass along would be greatly appreciated.Sorryfor the long post,as i said...newby. Thanks

It is lowered with the FRPP full suspension kit. I'm not sure how far it lowered the car the previous owner had it installed when it was new. It's not slammed just a moderate drop. No clearance issues at all. I did not use a watts link but I did buy an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear. It's off just a little from the drop but I haven't even installed it yet. It's not necessary but I'll eventually put it on just because. I used Eibach spacers. They were $27 from CJ Pony Parts. No need to change the studs. I love the wheels and get a lot of compliments on them.

They look awesome on your Shelby.

Thanks!

Your setup looks really good, Jay, but I totally understand your thinking about making a change.
