I'm new and perhaps a bit crazy but I would like to put vintage 15" Magnum 500s on my '08 GT. Does anyone know if they are too small to fit given the rotor and caliper size?

Yes, 15s are too small, however, there is a place (I can't remember the name, use google) that offers a kit that puts SN-95 rotors on the rear to allow for 15" drag wheels. The front is a different story, I think they are fine assuming you use a spacer, skinnies, and longer studs.

They are featured in the current MM&FF

16's would fit but you would have to mimic the exact backspacing and offset of the wheels that come on the 05 up Mustangs.
