Does anyone know if any 17" Wheels that will fit on the front of the new Shelby GT 500? If so, please elaborate..thanks Bill

No..you can not go below a 18" wheel on the GT500 without changing the brakes. Possibly if you had them custom made, but I doubt even that.

Why would you want 17's on a GT500? No, they won't fit, calipers in the way.

Personally i would never change the rims on the GT500. I am in love with those stockers. If i had 18 inch tires i'd try getting them for myself. But buying a new set of tires and those rims at appros $220 a pop, that would end up costing a fortune....

A friend of mine is using 17" rims on his 2007 GT500. He had to change the brake system to a system from a 2005+ Mustang GT, using Hawk Performance Brake pads, which works perfect.

That seems like a huge downgrade. 4 piston to 2 and 14'' to 12'' rotor?

I'm sorry, but that sounds as silly as replacing the GT500 5.4 engine and 6 speed transmission with a GT's 4.6 & 5 speed.

Who the hell would do that and why???
