Default 2005 Mustang GT Retro

I have a 2005 Mustang GT. I had read an old post that stated you could run 15 x 8 wheels on a 2005 without any modfications. I would like to verify this before purchasing wheels and tires. The tire size would be 215/70R15.

ummm I don't think you can on a GT. 17s are the smallest I believe. the brakes and rotors are bigger than that of a V6. as much as I hate to admit it, the stock V6 wheels with the fake knock off centers look rather cool to me. reminds me of the old Shelby cobra wheels, I think that's what the designers were going for tho. I could/might be completely wrong.

15" will clear the brakes but you will probably need a custom one off wheel to clear
