Don't think those particular ones are for mustangs. The brake line holes are way off.

I’ve compared pics, they look identical. Here’s the description:

I’ll eventually go with the s550 performance pack brakes myself. Very happy with those brakes on my 2018.

I just saw these and gears started turning.

You will probably have to buy some 12 gt500 brake lines. What wheels you running

Are they legit? How much coin if you don’t mind me asking. That’s the color I went with for my 8.8”.

Sweet, not a bad buy. I’d like to see some more when you get them in hand and of course when you mount them up!

Car came with bullit style mags. I have another set of s550 PP wheels that I’m gonna throw on it.

I believe that the s550 PP wheels actually give you less clearance on a s197. I could be wrong.

I bought them for spares on the 18. I didn’t get a chance to bolt them on the s197 before I gutted it. I will also be replacing all my lines (brakes, p/s, possibly fuel) with high pressure braided coated stainless lines all around. I haven’t bought GT calipers yet. Was looking and saw these. I see good reviews from a few mustang owners regarding quality and fitment. They’ve sold 42 sets? So Maybe?

I have a set of these knockoffs that I got from RockAuto (they were originally being sold as rebuilt calipers or something). Honestly for knockoffs they aren't bad, the castings were good, all the brake hardware fit correctly. I've been running them for 3 years now with no issues.

Also, not sure about the Performance Pack S550 wheels but on these wheels on my car I had to run about a 7-8mm spacer to clear the Brembos. PP wheels might have just enough backspacing that you don't need a spacer but I'm not sure.

Hard to say, they might clear with nothing. On the S550 the hub face of the rotor is 3/4" taller than on the S197, so I don't think the wheels have nearly as much backspacing as they normally would.

I doubt it. The stockers have about 1/4 inch from spoke.
