OK Shell Valley guys, we have a customer over here in the UK who is going for a Shell Valley cobra and i need to know about wheel specs ie backspacing and see pictures of your big wheels

Cheers guys.

I haven't received my wheels yet.....but I'm using PS Engineering 15x9.5's in the rear with a 4.5" backspace.

Shell Valley references Team III wheels in their manual. However I was told by the PSE dealer that the Team III wheels do not look as "deep" because they are 3 piece wheels. The PSE's appear more like Trigo's.

This is what I went with:
Front: 15 x 7 with 3 3/4 backspace and 235/60 x 15 BFG TA's
Back: 15 x 10 with 4 1/2 backspace and 295/50 x 15 BFG TA's
These are the sizes recommended by the folks at Shell Valley
Hope this helps.

It would probably be cost prohibative for shipping, but here's a set I have that I am running. They came with the car back when it was built and look like Minilites, which folks in the UK might be fond of.

I'll attach a photo of them. Sorry, but this is the best photo I have as of now. I can take a better one if needed.

If interested in them, let me know, as I am considering a Halibrand look instead.
