Do you guys know if GT500 wheels will fit a 2008 mustang GT without modifications? Or would spacers be needed?

They will fit fine..no clearance problems will occur...no spacers are needed either...should bolt right on...

post pics if you do it

The car is actually my brothers, but I'll get some pictures tonight. The car doesn't have any issues like mentioned before. They bolted on nicely. My brothers concern now is that the front tires have about an inch of clearance. He's scared that if he lowers the car, it might rub. Should lowering it cause any issues?

Just saw your girls car, looks good. How much of a drop did the springs lower her car? I'm guessing it would also be different on a vert. opposed to a coup, right?

You can get replica GT500 wheels for considerably less than OEM. To the untrained eye they look just like the real thing, but they retail for $150 a piece rather than whatever Ford/FRPP charges.

She put the Ford lowering kit on there i think it droped it 1 3/4 inches. Its pretty low.

They should bolt up fine and look pretty good at the same time! If you don't mind me asking how much can you get some for?
