I have no problem with someone covering the fees so they are secure in the process. 

You are a known quantity on this forum so it shouldn't be a issue.

Sorry, it was not my intention to make you feel like you were casting doubt . I understand your concerns. I just meant in his case

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Group 2 wheels and tires

Last post by Bob Gaines - December 05, 2025, 08:12:47 PM

I'm in the process of building a replica group 2 trans am car to eventual run in SVRA group 6TAS.  I want to stay as original to the notchback GT350 race cars as Shelby made them.  My car is a 67. I'm open to flaring the fenders if that's what Shelby did. 
I intend on running DOT tires for now as it will be mostly street with some autocross.

What size wheels and tires did Shelby run?

Does the registry book that's sold her on this site cover the 20-something notchback shelby cars along with full detailed specs?

Thanks!
Eric

Eric the 67 did not have flares but the 68 TA cars did. Some of the 67 TA cars were brought up to 68 specifacations which there were many. You will have to decide which window in time you want to build Replica.

Was there anything written in the rules for a 67 Coupe to update to the 68 rear flared quarter panels,that would allow a larger wheel & tire?

Here are a couple of shots (less than perfect) from back in the day that have been posted in the past.

Here are my set of PSE TA wheels in 15x8 with a 4 3/8" back spacing that Phil recommended. They fit on my car on all four corners. First pic with Goodyear GatorBacks 225/60-15's now with BFG 225's front and 235's rear.

Here is are a couple pics of the 67 TA Shelby Mustang Car (#12 I think) with the Kode Key Electronics livery restored and vintage raced by the late Walt Boeninger RIP long time member of NorCal Region Shelby Club (SAAC) and former treasurer of the club.

He told me when he restored the car, the correct wheels he could source at the time were the American Magnesium TA wheels from Bud Moore's Team Cougar in 15x8 which he said were "correct" for the Mustang. I really miss Walt. He was a truly good person.

As for current wheels, the only wheels that are identical in appearance to the American Magnesium TA are the ones from Phil Schmidt. The PSE TA one piece rims in 15x8 cast in modern aluminum alloy. Unfortunately the PSE wheels are no longer available.

There is however the magnesium TA wheels from Vintage Engineering. They are ungodly expensive that's if Vic will even make a set for you. They too are in 15x8 with any back spacing you request.

If you come across a preowned set of PSE TA wheels, buy them. But be prepared they will not be cheap.

Happy Holidays,

I would use original parts. The exception would be the tie rod rubbers from NPD - those are pretty decent. Dan Chock may have original idler arm and bracket if yours is not rebuildable.
