GT500 tire/rims question...
Found a great deal on a set of tires/rims from a 2008 Shelby GT500. I have a 2007 GT, is this a simple swap? Also, will the TPMS bands in the 08 tires work on my 07? Thanks!

The wheels are an easy match. But you'll need to put new bands on the new wheels unless they're already installed. After that, it's simply a matter of swapping out the sensors. Depending on how the work is done, the sensors may or may not require retraining.
The bands are already installed, the tires/wheels were removed with less than 1K miles on them. I'll swap them and then see if the light comes on. If so, I guess I'll have to purchase that tool from AM. Thanks!

Check with your Ford dealer or a few tire shops. Some places will do it for free, especially if you're a repeat customer. You may have to make a few calls and you may get no takers. But it's worth trying IMO.
Are you saying the tires/wheels already have the sensors installed? Even so, I'd still call around if you need to have them retrained.
