Finally got my 40th package completed and my baby is home again! The car looks great and the handling is unbelievable. I have a couple of questions.
1) The list of items in the package includes a chrome lug wrench but I cant find one in any of my boxes. Is it supposed to be there?
2) How come the tire width for the rear tires is smaller than stock?
Thanks.

I see they still have not changed the paperwork on the lug wrench. There isn't one. I guess some of the early upgrades had them, but not now.
I never compared the tire width.

Due to the offset of the Razors - they made it 275s for the rear to avoid rubbing. That's why I had a set widened to 10.5" so I could put 305s on. Though I'm now considering a whole new axle shortened by 1/2" on each side to stop rubbing. Money pit? nah.

The actual tire width(s) is the same as the Super Snake (275/20's) but the rim is narrower (9"). There has been much discussion on this and the fact that since the Shelby name is synonymous with performance one would think that they would be wider than stock......Not the case, maybe it simply has to do with the Razor sizing/availability?

Kelly,

Congratulations. As SSS mentioned, there is much discussion on the forum concerning this issue. Some of us, especially those that had performance upgrades opted to widen the back razors and put wider tires on. Let's see some pics.
