Understand what you're trying to achieve. I recommend using the correct components for your application. I've heard/read it can be done but never tried to adapt late model calipers myself but don't recommend it when there are OEM examples that will give you excellent brakes for little money.

That said, I'd personally go with a Brembo setup. And bonus, there are stock wheels that fit the setup without spacers. I'll find the part number for the wheels shortly.

If you choose to go this route; whatever you can send, or take back (like the rotors/brake pads), do it. Next, you need Calipers, 14" Rotors & Pads for a 2007 - 2009 GT500. Looks like you've found the correct 14" rotors but I'd double check to be sure before ordering (see attached). If you order from O'Reilly's (you're ordering replacement calipers/rotors/pads/dust shields; feel free to reuse bolts) just tell them you have a 2008 GT500. That should get you all the right parts. Not sure what the setup costs now. When I bought mine it was about $450 for calipers/rotors/pads and I ordered the dust shields separately.

For the correct part numbers and installation procedures see attached. Good luck.

19"x 9 Brembo Wheels - tires 255/40/19 or 255/45/19 (I use 255/45's). No spacer needed.

There are also 3 different dust shields. I have the vented ones. I’m also using Boss 302 brake lines, matching front and rear rotors and pads F54FADE9-C71D-49E5-8BFC-BFBEC785CBBE.jpeg 8D04E620-1558-448D-9267-0FDA99917BD2.jpeg EF7086DA-96FF-4729-9321-6B1669499605.jpeg

I like those vented dust shields. Didn't know they existed. If I was doing road course or even mountain twisty roads, I'd get them.
BR3Z-2K004-B For anyone wondering. I think I found out about them from the SVT forums.
