2013-2014 GT500 "track pack" rims on '05 GT?
Has anyone ever put those on a 2005-2009 s197? I have seen the American Muscle knock offs, but I am talking about the real deal. I know some people run 275's all around so the 265's should go in the front, and that 285's should fit in the back with not too much trouble. I just wonder if one needs spacers of any kind. If so I'll abandon the idea. I don't like running spacers.
The reason why I am asking is that I just got my 05 trough inspection and I know for the next time I'll need to replace brake parts and tires. It's fine now, but they are getting there for sure. I am entertaining the thought to go 2013-2014 GT500 brembo's in 2016, I need a set of rims to house them. I have always liked the track pack wheels. The regular gt500's would be fine too (same size, just not the awesome design).
Why big brakes? So I know I'll be good for whatever I'll do to the engine. And I really do dislike how crappy the brakes are. They slow you down, bit imho not enough. I'll probably also get the handling pack if/when I do that. I bet it would look pretty weird on stock height.

I have seen the 2011 track pack wheels on a first gen S197, Those rims are pretty much the same size, just a different design. (They would be my second choice, I just really want the 2013-14 track pack wheels).
So I suppose your posts settled it. I'll be saving my coin for the coming months and hope I come across a nice set!
