Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Quick question on the Alcoa Rims. I have the 20x10 for the rear but it doesn t look like theres alot of room for them. It looks like they would rub up against the rear shocks! Do the 20x10s fit the rear with no modifications? I have read that there is a 35mm off set but don t know if that pushes the rim further inward or does it make the rim stick out a little from the quarter pannel. I have compared my 20x9s and 20x10s and the rears are obviously wider but Im worried if any rubbing will happen. I have a 07 Mustang GT thats NOT lowered or Modified in any way.

I have the 20X10 in the rear and 20X9 in the front and have never had a problem with rub. They have been on the car for a year now and still look the way they did the day I got them.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
That's the one part that sucks. As soon as I had the money to get the wheels, they discontinued them...

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
I talked to them in person right after I moved here. They said no in a very snotty manner. Apparantly, they frown on building Shelby clones, even while making a quick buck doing it. They had one (without the Super Snake script) sitting in the showroom when I asked.

I feel like I'd be more successful finding turbocast wheels with bowling ball hubcaps. I even tried finding black wheels since the 2012 and 50th Anniversary Super Snake is still fitted with them.

Meh, I guess I shouldn't worry about it now. I just got my hood, and wouldn't be able to get wherls until October anyway.

I will try to find out who you can talk to there, I was told no but Alcoa gave me a contact person and she was great. I want to say her name was April.lphill01 wrote:I talked to them in person right after I moved here. They said no in a very snotty manner.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
I had to go to Ford for them to recalibrate my tps sensors
otherwise I couldnt get rid of the error
Im sure any mechanic can recalibrate if they have the correct tool.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
yeah I must purchased the tool form american muscle I think since there is no tpms in french car and since I live in france there is no ford dealer able to do that but what tire pressure anyway?
Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
do you reuse your oem TPMS chips?

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
No, I purchased the tire/rim package so it came with their own TMPS
Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
it's why you needed to reprograme them ,I'll reuse my Oem chip so normally there is no programming but still don't know the correct tire pressure for 20 inch wheels compared to my factory 18

Thank you Sir! I hope they have a few spares sitting around. And somehow, I may have received a blessing to get a set from the wife. She realized how ugly my wheels are after a walk through Shelby's Headquarters.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
I would love the alcoa rims. But they were discontinued after I got my car. So I went in Search of aftermarket rims and I found some called Lorenzo WL032 rims. They look just like the alcoas but the width goes in halfs. And I'm getting all four wheels and tires for $2,300. Just saying you should take a look at em.

Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
Thanks for the advise. They do look close, I've also looked at Forgestar CF10 wheels. They look similar as well.
Re: Great New for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!
