GROUND CLEARANCE
Note: Because of low vehicle ground clearance, use caution when
approaching curbs/curb stops from the front and rear as vehicle
damage could occur. Additionally, when crossing speed bumps or
driveway curbs, SVT recommends approaching at a 45 degree
angle to reduce the risk of vehicle damage.
WASHING YOUR SHELBY GT500
Do not drive your vehicle through an automated, commercial car
wash due to the vehicle’s low ground clearance, tire width and
track. Wash your vehicle by hand, or by using a touchless
commercial wash with no mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not
use a commercial or high pressure wand on the striped surfaces
or stripe edges.

WHEELS
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
These wheels are more susceptible to damage due to their diameter,
width and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure (seeTiresin this supplement).
•Do not drive your vehicle through an automated, commercial car wash
due to the vehicle’s low ground clearance, tire width and track. Wash
your vehicle by hand, or by using a touchless commercial wash with
no mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not use a commercial or high
pressure wand on the striped surfaces.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
