    hey everybody, i am in the process of getting the new foose legend nitrous wheels,20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. tire sizes will be 295-30-20 in the front and 285-30zr20 in the rear. these will be going on my 2007 shelby gt 500. here's my question, will these work with the eibach pro suspension kit? as i have ordered the springs and shocks. any info is greatly appreciated.

    Looking to go with a system such as Eibach Pro-System-Plus Kit (Pro-Kit, Pro-Damper Kit & Anti-Roll Kit)

    Reason being, not too drastic, a system that is designed for the car, and I hope it will not cause other unwanted issues, bump stear, etc that will require more work. My goal is to drop the car a little and improve the feel of the car.

    Anyone installed this setup?

    i was hoping someone else had already done this swap to their car, Mike. i got my foose nitrous legend wheels with the toyo proxes4 tires put on yesterday. i am nervous about going to one of the tire shops to have my eibach pro kit of struts springs and shocks installed as i am wondering if it will rub after the lowering springs are installed with these wheels and tires.

    I can understand that, are your tires the standard 18? I have seen pics several Shelbys with the Eibach kit installed on several of the forums and no mention of issues like that.

    I am currently talking to a suspension performance shop about installing my kit. So far so good, I have to take the car in this week for them to just take a look at it. I expect to have the kit installed next week.

    I will let you know how it goes
