1) probably not . . . but maybe . . . the spokes need to be out toward the edge of the wheels, looks like those are . . . are those really Ford OEM wheels? I don't remember any that looked like that, but there were lots of them and I don't remember all of them
2) No -- but braided stainless lines will help with pedal feel
3) You need rotors too -- assuming you got the 4-piston Brembos (like on the Brembo GT's) then you can get the standard 14" rotors that go with those brakes; Rock Auto has a few options, I like the premium coated Centric rotors as a good price/quality point.
EDIT: spelling correction . . . "braided" not "braides"

Thanks for your reply! Yes, those are one of the rims offered on those years GTs. I was looking at some pad and rotor options from AmericanMuscle.

Agree with Bert on all three points. There is only one stock V6/GT rim that fits over the Brembo brakes. I have a picture below. All other stock rims will not clear the brakes. All GT500 rims will clear though. I too did not remember the ones posted in the original post, but looked them up and sure enough those are stock, but no they won't clear the Brembo brakes.
