Hello,

18" were a factory option in 2006 on the GT. Try and get a window sticker maybe...there's a site where you can put yoru VIN in and get a window sticker, but I don't know the address.

Hmm.... so you need proof from Ford that 18" wheels were OEM options to be able to use them in your country? Perhaps one of the Ford Customer Service reps on here might be able to help. Is there any indication on what kind of proof they want to see? 18" wheels are definitely a factory option.

I say to your US Ford, and they respond me this:

[19:59:34] Pavel Žižka: Dear Pavel,



These documents can be requested directly from Ford Motor Company by going to the following website. (Please note, there is a charge for this document.) http://www.shopfordgear.com

Click on the blue box on the left hand side that says: Build Sheets and Compliance Letter. Your friend in the US may have to order it for you because the link only works within the USA.

so i contat my friend from USA and they call to number on website. And they tell, that by our VIN number they only confirm that car was build by Ford with 17" wheels. If Ford build on 18" so give me proof that with 18". They cant send proof that for Ford is allowed wheels from 16 - xx"

Here is a link to make a generic sheet from Edmunds.com. You can go to the site and build your Mustang and it will show 18'' wheels. Hope this helps you out some. Appraise your car, and list the 18'' wheels as your options. That should help you some.

Yes, the 05-09 mustang GT came standard with only 17" wheels. The factory optional upgrade were the 18" wheels at the tune of $925 USD
