Ford 18's for Brembo Package?
From what I'm seeing here and at The Tire Rack, the only 18's that will clear the Brembos are GT500's and a couple of Chinese rims at Tire Rack.
I need 18"s for a set of all season tires. Will any other Ford 18" rims fit such as the base GT's mag-look rims?

Are you looking for just a set of average wheels for a set of A/S tires for Winter use ONLY? If so, I would highly recommend you look into a set of take-off wheels and may just be able to use the tires already factory installed. Just make sure they were FROM your model, so they clear the brakes.
Am I understanding your question correctly?

Worst case, I will get 19" all seasons put on the wheels the car came with.

That makes more sense to me now
I was nearly positive, that the BBP was with a set of 19"s, but no soo hip on the S197 and especially, the newer editions. I think this package is 14" brakes....? According to AM and ***THIS*** package here, typically and 18" wheel will work.
Take a look at :18 seconds of this YouTube video, and sure looks like an 18" wheel will clear, as more than 1/2" of space appears between wheel and caliper:
5.0 walk around
I would recommend you keep looking around, because I cannot give you a "definative" answer, but someone out there has installed 18" wheels over these brakes. Some additional info for confirming caliper clearance can be found ***HERE*** as well

If you look on Americanmuscle.com 's site all of the wheels, including 18 inch wheels, that fit the 2011 and 2012 GT500 will fit over the stock brembo brakes. Look under the fitment tab for the wheels that you like. There are a lot of fairly cheap wheels that look good.
