Sale GT500 Wheels or Keep?

[protraxduner]

Dumb question perhaps but will a Base front wheel fit the rear without issues? (I assume the answer is "yes.") That is, have a spare wheel and tire in case of a flat and temporary use. I don't have to carry it in the car, just be able to go get it and use it in an emergency.

Again KB, the front wheel will physically bolt on and clear rear calipers, but it will stick out about 1".

If the front or rear wheels would fit interchangably without issue then Ford would have just made them all the same.

Never say never people.....

For me, my car is no longer a base GT500, it’s a Shelby SE, which comes with its own wheels.

“Stock” is now whatever comes on the SE, not how it came from Ford. It will never be returned to factory for obvious reasons, that’s why I’m selling all factory parts that came off during the SE conversion.

Otherwise I would catalog every nut and bolt and keep them, just like you do.

You don't count... You are special... You (will) own a real Shelby.

Thanks, Tony and I was afraid that it might stick out. Dang it.

Guess I'll have to find another wheel and probably won't have any luck, either.

you wont get much $ for them and will hold them for sale for a while. i sold mine to an exotic rental company for about $1000, and they were for sale for months

Only 1K. wow. I was going to try to sell each separate as full size spares. I would think 4-500 each.

You'd think there's some guy with an S550 that has a GT350 or 500 front end clip and lookalike rear wing that would pay good money, more than that, for 500 wheels to complete the look considering you literally cannot buy them from anywhere.

I sold mine on a GT500 Facebook page for 1800. They have new takeoffs on eBay for 2000 plus shipping not going to get much for them.
