Shelby SVT PP wheels on a GT

Hello. I own a 2013 GT Premium with Brembo brake package.

My questions are:

1. Will the 2013 Shelby's (GT500) SVT PP wheels (and tires) 19x9.5 (265/40) front and 20x9.5 (285/35) rear fit the GT with no issues?

2. Do the TPMS fit those wheels?

3. Will I "need" to lower the car?

4. Are those wheels fully forged or rotary forged?

Lastly, does anyone know the complete specifications for the wheels I mentioned? I'm more particular about the weight.

Inputs highly appreciated and thanks in advance!

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No
4. Pretty sure they are rotary forged and made in China.
Lastly. Don't know. I suppose I could weight them but I'd have to take them off the car. Kind of a PITA. Maybe someone else knows this.

You won't need to lower the car. In fact, the car may look lower as the GT500 tires are a little taller. The rears are an inch taller. However, this will throw off your speedo a bit. Not much, but a bit.

Your still going to have massive wheel gap, four fingers to be exact. I would still lower the car at least an inch.

I understand. I only mention it because there are huge differences in quality of American forged wheels and Chinese. I think it's pertinent considering how much Ford itself charges for one of these replacement wheels.

Will do a fitment later on.
