Does the brake setup from the Shelby GT 500 fit the GT Model without any issues? I'm already running 18" wheels but I wasn't sure if they needed anything else. Curious if anyone has done this swap and what issues you ran into.
I plan on doing this swap myself. I have the 18" torque thrust style wheel. I've messured for clearance of the inside of the wheel and they will fit. The spokes I dont know about but a small spacer should fix that.
If you are able, measure how much more the brackets/calipers stick out compared to the stock setup. I'm sure many of us would be interested to know the spacing difference. I know with my Nitrous wheels, I'm probably less than a 1/4 from the caliper.
I'll post that info when I can. The dealership I got my car at had a GT 500. They let me take the wheel off to measure the inside diameter, at the time I did'nt think of checking for spoke clearance. I'll check by the third week of August for sure, unless the dealership gets another GT 500 before then.
