Replying to: akirby (Aug 30, 2006 8:59 am) Does all of the standard brake hardware (rotors/calipers) on a GT fit within a 16" rim? Just curious...

Replying to: baggs32 (Aug 30, 2006 12:27 pm) I'll bet the guys at the tirerack would know, since they sell winter wheel/tire packages made for specific models. But if a 16" rim would fit, then it would make the most sense (also, from what little I know of winter driving, a narrower high profile tire is preferable to the standard wide low profile tire). edit: I just checked tirerack.com. For the Mustang GT they only list 17" rims/tires in their winter selection. They list 16" setups for the V6 Mustang. Does the GT have larger rotors/calipers than the V6? |

Replying to: rorr (Aug 30, 2006 1:23 pm) Yes. I'm 99% sure of that.

Replying to: baggs32 (Aug 31, 2006 4:58 am) yep, I figured the same thing. Seems as though it's a long shot that 16" rims would fit. I ran into this (but the exact OPPOSITE 'problem') with my '66 fastback. I was looking into upgrading to a much larger brake system (from either Baer or Wilwood) but wanted to keep my period correct 15" Torq Thrust rims (probably just me but I think that big rims on a early model Mustang just looks stooopid). All the aftermarket systems I looked at would have required at least a 16" rim. I eventually settled for some upgraded front calipers from SSB and a rear disk brake setup from the old SVO Mustang.....and kept my 15" rims.
