2014 GT500 Brembo's with 18" wheels

[blahdo_s197gt]

I've been looking at this current brake setup (http://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-6piston-brake-kit-0514.html) and was curious as to what can be done to fit this brake kit on my wheels. I currently have the 2010 GT500 18x9 (front) & 18x10 (rear) wheel setup but the kit says it doesn't fit the 15" brake kit. Is there any way I can get them to fit? Maybe a wheel spacer in the front & rear to space out the offset?? I'm really bad with wheels lol, also the car is a 2006 Mustang GT. Appreciate the help guys!

There is a very short list of 18" wheels that are capable of fitting over the 6 piston Brembo's. I don't think there are any "factory" wheels that will pull it off.

AFAIK, I don't think anyone here is running 18s with the 15" Brembos, but maybe someone will chime in.

OP, do you track your car (road course)? If not, you'd probably be happier with the 14" Brembos. They are much cheaper, and my 18" wheels clear them just fine, and they work really well on the track, too. Plus, I hear the brake dust is horrible on the 15" Brembos when used for DD. Just my $0.02.

I don't road coarse, just drag racing and high speed highway pulls. Although I have plans on supercharging and doing Shiftsector, I just need a good budget brake setup to get me from 150+ down to 60mph quickly, safely, and with minimal brake fade.

I was hoping to keep these same wheels, I guess my only option would be the 14" brembos??

I don't think they would work... the ones you have. I would suggest the 14" since there is really no performance gain between the two. Just get 14" brembos and nice brake pads that have a harder bite.
