Shelby GT500 rims on SN95

[94CobraPace]

Hey, I tried on a set of 07 Shelby GT 500 rims and tires on my 94 Cobra. The rims are 18" X 9.5" on all 4. The front tires are 255-45-18 and the rears are 285-40-18. The tires are on the tall side, especially the fronts. The fronts needed 1/2" spacer (used some washers to get the spaceing needed) to clear the strut and sway bar. The rears were put on with no spacers, will need a 1/4" spacer to clear the parking brake bracket. Needs a spacer, 1/4" min and possible 3/8" to move the rear tires out to the fender edge to look better. My 94 Cobra is lowered, have Eibach Pro kit for a coupe springs. The tall tires raised the car .5" front & .8" rear, but the fender gap got smaller due to the tall tires.
From my research, 05+ rims can fit with a 3/8" spacer all around being the GT rims are 8" wide, not the 9.5" wide on the Shelby rims. The back spacing on the Shelby rims are 7.21". The new edge cars have a little more room in the fender well than the SN 95's, so should fit easier on the 99's up.

I have already bought the rims and tires (good price to pass up and I can sell them & make a few bucks). Anyone intersted? PM me
I'm on the fence on keeping the Shelby rims and selling my 03 chrome Cobras (9" front & 10.5" rears). Or just selling the Shelbys? Opinions welcome.
What do you think of the pics:

well, i like where the '03 wheels put the rear wheels out a little further. i must say though, i really like the shelby wheels on that body style! i never would have though until i saw it. i'd keep the shelbys and maybe gat a small spacer for the rear.

i'd say stick with the 03 wheels...although i like the gt500 wheels (actually thought about putting them on my car) they are too bold and aggressive of a wheel for a sn95 body style. just my .02 here...

I agree with ^

I think they don't match the styling of the car at all. They're very sharp, angular wheels and I think they match the S197 styling much better. Keep the 03's
