Request from the people who work at dealers - Will GT/CS rims clear Brembo brakes?

I know that it will be a while before anyone may be able to answer this. I imagine that a number of the GT/CS owners would love to have a chance to retrofit the Brembos if they could. It will be a simple test for any dealership that has both a GT/CS and a Brembo equipped car on their lot.

I know the rims that come with the Brembo package are 1/2" wider than the standard GT/CS rims.

Just get a set of spacers for the wheels and everything should be fine.

Jeff is correct. The only way to fit a set of Brembos behind the Cal Special wheel is with a spacer as there is not enough offset to clear them.

Are you referring to the 2011 GT/CS?

EDIT: I realize that I wasn't clear in my original post. The fact that I was referring to the new 11's got lost when I moved my post to the new thread.

IMO the CS wheels are UGLY. Upgrade to the Brembo-spec wheels

I hate the Brembo spec wheels SO much I will be selling mine the day I take delivery of my 11.
And replacing them with Mustang RTR wheels.
