These would be the 20x9 Gunmetal Grey Shelby Razor Wheel wouldn't they?
Are these them?----> http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale....rgunmetal-36mm
How does that price look? Anyone know a better place to buy them?

What size tire do you guys recommend getting with those?

Thanks! Sorry for all the questions...
Excited to join the mustang community :P

Sorry, your link is not working

I did a bit of research via properties of your link and found these...?


Are they what your looking for on ***THIS*** page? I have not shopped those wheels around, but I think it is a fair price. That isn't to say you can't find a better one, but reasonable for a 20" wheel. They also have a price match guarantee, so suffice to say they are competitive.

As for tires, this is somewhat dependent on how you drive your car. If you want DD tires that will be for your average every day stuff, I would say a 265~275 tire in a 35~40 series would be fine. The 275's will offer some protection of the rim from curbs and such and will fill the wheel wells out OK. If you are into more performance oreinted, such as cornering, AX and oval track stuff, I would say stick with a 245~255 in a 30~35 series tire.

Yep! Those are the ones i was looking at. I'll put some thought into the tire size. I'd really be looking for 1/2 performance 1/2 ride quality tires and tire sizes.... I wouldn't be taking it to the track monthly or anything. It would be nice having a little tire sticking out to protect the rims from curbs....

From the looks of the picture above, what tire size would that be? Any idea?

those tires look pretty even with the rim width

I would guess they are 265's in your pic above and will offer a bit protection with a 35 series. I don't know what size your existing OEM tires are (27.3"~27.8", depending on 18" or 19" existing wheels), but would keep the speedo accurate and wheel gap the same if you were to stay this diameter.

With the stated goals above, I would recommend a 265/35 as this is close enough to not be an issue with speedo at 27.2" diameter. Now.... this IS going to ride a bit rougher than you are familiar. You are going from a pretty soft 45~50 series sidewall to at least a pretty stiff 35 series sidewall and you WILL notice a difference in NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness), but is the name of the game for performance.

You will have a MUCH improved turn-in response and will probably take you a couple days to get completely used to steering response.

I have the silver version of these wheels and run 255 35 20 nitto 555s

Grant Oserowsky

THEBLACKSTANG, do you have any pics of that setup? close ups on the tires/wheels? Thanks!

Can you please tell me what offset of Razors you bought? And if so, how close they are to fender edge? Might you even have pics please?! I've obsessed over this and also have determined 265/35s will be the best tire for "standing up straight" too. Not leaning in like the tires is stretched across the rim and not too fat so the rubber bulges out the sides... now I just need to know which offset to get for my 07 SGT

THEBLACKSTANG

Keep in mind that my wheels are the lighter silver color used on shelby cs6 and cs8 not the gun metal that you see on most cars. I really haven't taken any pictures of the car since I made this thread:
https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...es-w-pics.html

Would you like me to take a picture from the back with the wheels straight? That would probably show the offset the best. (BTW my wheels have an offset of 24)

Check with LATEMODELRESTORATION, I got them as a wheel package 255-35-20/275-35-20, for ~$1300.
