2010 Track Pack Wheels on 2011 w/Brembos?

Will they fit? I am not wild about the 2011 Brembo wheels and would much rather get the 2010 track pack wheels (current 19 inch premium wheels IIRC). If they fit, I may try to work a deal with my dealer for a set of them, if not, I guess im stuck with the hoop-earing style brembo package wheels.

Not that Ford has said. There is a reason the wheels are different, so they will fit to the brakes. Otherwise they would have said that any 19" wheel would work. Sorry bud.

This has been asked multiple times. No, they will not fit, unless you run a spacer. But no one just exactly how badly they don't fit. The Brembo Pkg wheels look good. And you can always change them to something else later.

Didn't think about it. Not enough snow here for me to worry about it. Did that Falken Mustang have the Brembo pkg? I think they were running those 18" GT500 or Ford GT wheels.

The biggest reason the brembo wheels are different is to differentiate the brembo cars and they are wider for the 255 section tires.

I have yet to see where anyone actually has tried to put some other factory wheels on a brembo car.

I do like the premium 19" 5 spoke wheels, hate the 19" machined wheels, but if you get a brembo car then using either of those wheels will be a step back in handling performance.

Falken got better lap times than the stock 19" setup using 18" wheels, 9" front, 10" rear, SVE tenth anniversary replica wheels and staggered tires.
