Any Suggestions? What size wheel spacers do I need on my stock 18" wheels to fit 14" Brembos?

I just got the 14" Brembo front brakes off a Shelby GT500.
Has anyone done the swap using the stock 18" wheels?
or know what size wheel spacer is needed up front?
I'm putting them on my 06 GT

Thanks,

If memory servers me right you can't because of the way the inner part of the wheel is designed. You would have to go out pertty far and the wheels would stick out past the fenders.

I've seen it on a GT in my neighborhood. I saw the front tires stick out slightly if not flush and had Brembos on it. I just don't like the stock GT500 wheeels. I have the 18 polished on for the winter, but will put back the deep dish 19's I have for the summer.

I believe it's around 1" for factory Bullitts and 15mm for Fanblades. There's a member on TMS (Kristina) who runs Fanblades with those calipers.

I used these spacers when I still had my stock 18s. It brings the tires flush with the fender.

05-09 MUSTANG

I've got the "works" kit which has 4 1" spacers for the front and rear along with replacement studs, and the install and removal tool. I'll sell it to you for $180 shipped. Same setup sells for $287 from the site above.

PM me if interested.
