19" GT wheels on 2011 Mustang V6

I thinking about wheel upgrade.
Will 2010, 2011 19" GT wheels fit on my 2011 V6, or do I need to do any modification (spacers)?

They should fit considering the V6 has nearly identical suspension/chassis/drivetrane setups. Which one in particular where you interested in?
I'm getting a set up Brembo takeoffs next week, I might have them in by next friday, but I'll post pics when I get them mounted.
I want to get GT-500 Wheels and Tires combo for my V6.
I put wheel on car, but in extreme side slightly scrubs on arm. :(

Where did it rub. Doesn't make sense. Has your car been in an accident? Other than weight, the 19" GT wheels are nearly identical in offset as the 19" V6 Performance Package wheels. That and I have a set of 19" GT Brembo take-off wheels that I've run on my car in addition to the same 19" FRPP wheels and have never rubbed once. That's with a 1.25" drop on my suspension as well.
no rubs on mine, anywhere.

there was not accident, I got Goodyear F1 245-45-19 tires on it. I will check tomorrow where is it problem.

It really shouldn't rub considering that the wheel isn't that wide. But if it rubs during full lock steering you can easily install some steering stops ($10 shipped from AmericanMuscle)

I did the same for my 19x9.5s up front - no rub now.
just put these factory 19" on the V6 in place of the stock 225/60/17. Makes a big difference in looks and handling. No rubbing. Next comes the suspension.

Same here man.... black..

The 19" wheel is quite a bit heavier, you may want to look into takeoff springs/struts from a GT.
Here's my V6:

Rubs a little on full lock. Other than that....perfect.

Same here as well, the black GT500 wheels are awesome IMO.

which rims are those?
They are part of the GT Brembo brake package.
I have no idea how you guys are rubbing with Ford 19" wheels. The 19" Brembo wheels work perfect on my v6 with Steeda sports. That's around a 1" drop and I have no rubbing at all. There shouldn't be any difference between the suspension, control arms, fender liners etc that would cause a v6 to rub with a GT wheel. This baffles me. :?:
mine did it too, it did it a lot when I first put them on, but now not so much, but I don't go blasting through corners at full lock to find out haha. The only thing I can think of is maybe it needs an alignment? It really doesn't make any sense because my stock tires didn't rub at all, and the overall tire diameter is bigger than what I have now. mine were also making a creaking noise whenever I turned it full lock one way or the other and that may have been my steering stops. It's possible going to a wider wheel and not messing with the steering stops is causing rubbing.
It all depends on what wheels your car came with stock. If your car came with 19" wheels then it doesn't steer as far as those with 17" wheels. This is why ford (ford racing parts) recommends steering stops when upgrading from 17" to 19".

I had 17" wheels and experienced wheel rub at full lock w/19x9.5 fronts, but if I had a PP this probably wouldn't have been a problem. I installed the recommended ford (roush branded) steering stops and no more rub. It was millimeters difference in clearance.
