[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16440391, member: 138028"] Did you get any measurements from someone that already has a GT500? If you haven't I have some advice for you. Since you are doing custom wheels I take it they are going to be big dollar wheels and basically if the company or store that you are buying these wheels from for your Shelby and they need you to tell them some measurements so the wheels will clear your brakes I might consider buying from someone else. The accuracy of someone measuring their brakes for you may not be precise. You then tell these #'s to your wheel place, they make the wheels and when it's time to bolt them up you could find out that they don't clear. Lots of reputable companies that make or sell high $$$$ wheels have done fitments on this Shelby already so I suggest you talk with them and see what you want and what they can do for you. Basically they will already know exactly the offset, brake clearances needed for your wheel application. Forgeline, HRE will already have the info about this car with regards to what wheels they offer will fit, and you can always contact CW4L or Howey Industries as both vendors can help with sizing and none of these companies will need you to tell them what measurements are needed from you to make the wheels you want.
