Any wheel guru's around?

Here is my dilemma...

I picked up the 2013-2014 Shelby GT500 brake setup (15" rotors/6piston calipers). I figured since im running a 20" front wheel and it calls for an 18" min. wheel i'd be able to get away with running a spacer.
My current front wheels are BOSS 336 20X8.5 with a 33mm offset...but even with a 1" spacer the calipers will hit.

So my question is twofold...
First would be, what offset is req. for these monster calipers to work.
second...are there any wheels that come in 20" visually similar to the BOSS336 priced under $250/ea.? the few I've seen are signifigantly higher (MHT Ramblers, Shelby Americans,etc)

Thanks for any input

it's not as simple as offset for the wheel to fit. the design of the wheel is a big factor.

also you may want in the future post a pic of what you're looking for as not everyone is going to know a specific wheel.

IDK any that meet your requirement.

Having a "deep dished wheel" and fitting big brakes just arent really in the same line.

^^What they said. Offset only affects the wheel mounting surface in relation to the center line of the wheel. The 'spoke' design is what will affect fitment relative to the calipers. Start on something like Tire Rack, and look for wheels that will fit GT500 Mustangs. They have plenty that fit 07-12 GT500's w/ 4-piston brakes; none that fit '13+ GT500's- looks like they just haven't confirmed fitment yet. But, unless the 07-12 GT500 fitment wheels have 'spokes' that curve back toward the center line of the wheel at the wheel's outer perimeter, they should clear the 15" 6-piston brakes.

Thanks for your guy's feedback...the photo with the wheels on the vehicle is the BOSS336's on my car...the other 2 are the ones i'm looking at ..
the wheel retailer says the shelby wheels will fit as long as its not the Baer Extreme brakes.
