Will these fit?

Will these fit an S197 V6 with the 18'' OEM GT Bullit Rims? http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-2...ors-front.html

I don't think the problem is if they will fit it's the fact that you'll need bigger calipers...could be wrong though, just be patient and some of the local experts will chime in.

Calipers are the same, it's the caliper brackets that are different, along with the size in the rotors. Stock V6 rotors are 11.5" and GTs are 12.4" I believe. Rear brakes are the same between the GT and 6er

I was just wandering if they would actually fit onto the car with the proper parts. Thanks for the help!

Absolutely. As stated before, front GT rotors are bigger, and you need at least 17" wheels to have the clearance. You may need new caliper brackets, however.

Fixed that - going to a GT rotor you will need the GT caliper bracket. There is no way to put the bigger rotor on with the V6 bracket. It won't put the caliper out far enough to mount the caliper back on the car.
