Smallest diameter drag rims for 2012 GT?
Hey all, sorry if this may be posted in the wrong section, didn't really seem like Suspension Tech, admin feel free to move it. My question is, what is the smallest diameter drag wheel that will fit on a 2012 GT, NON-brembo, and clear the brake calipers. My biggest concern is the rear, with the slightly smaller brake setup, but if anyone knows the front as well all information is greatly appreciated. (Background for this is I am trying to get my hands on some drag rims/radials for this coming Friday night at New England Dragway in Epping, NH.)

I know people have used 15x9 on the rears with 275/50/15 drag radials out back. The front even with out the brembo's i believe the17in fronts will clear the brakes. There are still 13in rotors in the front even without the brembo's.

You can run a 15x10 on the rear without altering the brakes but you'll have to install sway bar relocation brackets.
On the front you can run a 15" wheel by changing out the brake rotors to the 12.4" brake rotors. http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-r...de-0511v6.html
This is what I did so I could run the 15" weld wheel up front.
