Default 17x9 bullits for drag racing?

Will these clear the brembo brakes on a 2013 GT?

No they won't fit. When I bought my 2012 with Brembo Brakes I tried the set of 18 inch bullet wheels and they only fit on the back. I bought 19 inch wheels from American Muscle that had the same offset as the GT500. I think you can also get 18 inch wheels with the GT500 offset.

I'm only talking about the rear wheels. I know the fronts need 19's.

I think the brakes in the rear do not change with the brembo package.

Brembo cars have the same rear brakes as non Brembo cars.
