I just bought a set of Drag Radials and mounted them to a set of old 15x7" V6 Mustang wheels for my current car, with the intention of keeping them in the even that I sold the car, I could still used them on an '05-up GT when I got one. But then it hit me the other day.....did the rear brake size in crease from '04 to '05 and will a 15x7" wheels still fit over the rear brakes?
I certainly hope so....otherwise I just spent a pile of money to run 3-passes on a brand new set of 27x10.5"x15 Mickey Thompson E/T Street Radials that I'll otherwise never use again, since my car is probably sold this fall?!? :zdunno:

a 15inch wheel will clear the rear brakes, but unfortunately they wont fit due to interference with the rear sway bar. so companies sell relocation kits to adjust for this though, just cant think of who off the top of my head, steeda maybe?
Man, I hope so. I'd hate to think I just sunk $500 into wheels and tires just to find out after 3-passes that they won't work for me on my (soon to be) new car.
Thanks by the way to Jeremiah for talking me into an S197 when I jump back in the Mustang fray next spring.

I know a guy that had to do the swaybar relocation and had to convert to SN-95 rear brakes to get his 15 inch Draglites to fit.........
Roush sells a rear anti-roll bar relocation kit for stock bars to allow 15" wheels.

Nice find KD
$60.00.....I can handle that (even if it does look like something I could make myself). Either way, it’s a hell of a lot better than having to buy new tires and wheels later on down the road. I wonder if relocating the bar has any effect on its performance cabilities.
