Ok, so in my seemingly forever search for good wheel/tire combo that doesn't cost more than the performance parts I'm wanting I found these...

Now if I'm reading it correctly they will fit the 2012 GT with Brembo package and I'm hoping I'm right. Does anyone know from experience if the will fit or not? I couldn't believe the difference in the number of choices for tires switching from a 19 to 18in rim.

 

Yes they will fit since they're from a GT500 and a GT500 has brembo breaks.

If you search around, you can find a new set shipped to your door for $600.

 

Yea, now I'm just trying to figure out how I want to set up the tires. I know I can get like a 285 in the rear but doubt I want to go that wide up front.

 

Thought I figured it out... nvm... back to searching.

 

Anyone know if there are any big negatives to a rear tire being .71in taller than the fronts? I was just curious if it would cause any problems with TC or anything like that.

 

Here are the tires specs for the wheels you are looking at:
18" x 9.5" bright machined-aluminum wheels with
P255/45R18 Z-rated front tires (GT500 convertible)
P285/40R18 Z-rated rear tires (GT500 convertible)

 

Actually found some at american muscle, thanks though. Yea they are replicas, but still look good and at an awesome price with tires too.

My only problem with those replicas is that they aren't true to the original. The inside, painted 'pockets' aren't angled off the machined parts, but 'straight in'. This makes them much skinnier.

The tradeoff is that you can get black instead of charcoal...

It's such a tough choice on my end... I am still about the originals though.

You can also get a few different sizes with the replicas which you can't do with the originals.
