Hey -I moved it but You are right I thought it might get more views/ responses. The GT front brakes stock are close to 12 inches (rotor) dont know what the V6' ers have

I figured it would be more cost effective to give all mustangs the same size rotors :|
that sux now I have to buy 17 inch snow tires that cost more than I could score 16" wheels and tires

its more cost effective to give the 6'er's the rotors they have (dont know size) and the GT guys more stopping power to all GT's. JMO hope someone can answer this! J

It won't work. From what I remember when I had 17's on mine the clearance was about 3/8 of an inch which means that 16 inch wheels won't work. If the clearance would've been 5/8 they would, but still it'd be too close... I wouldn't do it

...as far as "more cost effective to give all mustangs the same..." I sometime wonder about certain things Ford does. Why is the V6 front bumper/fascia different and the grill a different size than the GT? Would look better and be more cost effective to have the same fascia as the GT and simply the same GT grill mold but w/o lights. ...crazy...
