I picked up a couple of chuckies spur of the moment today. I want to make shredded beef but have a couple questions.

In order to shred I'm thinking the IT needs to be around 205. Does this sound right?

I'm not going to eat them until Tuesday. Should I rest and shred them today or wait until reheating on Tuesday?

Thanks in advance.
 
IT is a good indicator to start probing, but every hunk of meat is different. You want to probe it with a tooth pick or your thermometer and if you don’t feel resistance then it’s ready. It may be at 200 IT or up to 210. I agree with smoking north, I’d pull after a rest and keep the juices. When you reheat use the juices and maybe some broth! Post some pics!
 
Perfect. That's what I'll do.

Just threw them on

Love me some pulled chuck! I make it often, mostly use it in burritos and spice accordingly.
They've got you covered on the IT range you want and definitely probe for tenderness/pullability @ 200. In for the finish....
 
Everyone already got you covered. They look like they're coming along nicely.
 
I wrapped at 167. They finished in another 45 minutes. I was shocked how fast it went. They're resting now and smell amazing. When I pull I'll take a pic if I remember.
