What about the stock 18" from a 2010? I'd like to do this and use the 18's for my winter wheels....

I'm bring this back from the dead!:dead:

I'm looking for an update for anyone who has a 7/8 spacer with the Brembo's. Any rubbing issues, how's the fitment? Some more pictures would be great! And if anyone lives near south jersey, I would love to see this setup in person!

hmm...I would just get a wheel that fits. 7/8" seems like a lot.

No rubbing. 7/8" in front and 1" in back.

Nice weatherman. Is that the same kit on the thread? Can you upload some more pictures? Why did you do a inch in the back vs 7/8?

It is the same kit. I knew from checking that 1" would be OK in back. I really did not want the fronts to stick out, so went with the smallest spacer that would work for sure (7/8"). I am also lowered 1" on a Ford Racing suspension kit.

^ I want chrome. Plus I like the look of the OEM bullitt alot more then the aftermarket ones. Hey weatherman, can I bother you for some straight on pictures of the front and rear?

A real revival from the dead. I see talk of the Brembo calipers w/ or w/out spacers, but what about the Ford Racing 14" rotors and Brembo calipers from this kit https://fordperformanceracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=9540? I'm looking for a staggered 18x9 and 18x10 staggered wheel set so I can run tires with 27" tires. It appears the American Muscle AMR wheel in 18x9 clears this as it supports the GT500, which I think this brake kit is derived. Plus, those prices can't be beat...

That's the same brakes as the '07-'09 GT500 and '11-'14 GT Brembo package.

Oh, so if wheel fitment is good for an 07 GT500, I'm gold. I like the American Muscle AMR wheels, so that's it then. Thanks for the quick reply Gabe...

Did you stroke the oem 4.6L to 5.0 ? I see the 5.0 rear badge.
