Is the v6 wheel wells the same size as the Gt wheel wells ?
Will the same wheel tire packages fit both vehicles ?
Has anyone seen any fender flare or wide body kits for them?
Has anyone rolled their fenders?

On my 08 GT the fenders are already "rolled" at the tops on the front and back,i.e. there are no lips.

05 Mustang

wheel wells are the same, and as sleeper said, the fenders are already "rolled"

I haven't seen any wide body kits for them, but that's not to say there are any.

Unless you're lowered, you should be able to use any wheel setup that works on a GT. I have a stock suspension with the wheels/tires in my sig and I have gobs of clearance.

Thanks for the quick responses. I was under the impression that rolling the fenders did more than just bend down the lips. I thought it actually stretch the fenders out a bit.

I'm curious as to why you would want to flare the wheel wells out.

the fourth row down is the Gt car with the wider than norm rear tires. I love that look. I would have to get new rear wheels but I would have something different . The traction would be good at the rear at the drag strip even though they would be low profile street tires. I would also be able to put in a super stiff rear sway bar at the rear and that would take some of the load off of the front sway bar during canyon carving.

Nuke's car is running GT500 wheels which I believe are 18 x 9.5 wheels and he is running 275/40/18 tires which have a diameter of 26.7 Inch. His sig doesn't indicate if it is lowered or not

Here are some pictures of my car which is running 18 x 9.5 Steeda Ultralight wheels and 285/40/18 tires which are 27 inch diameter (same as stock). My car is lowered about an inch with Steeda Competition springs.

Nice rims and car. I like . Steeda Ultra light. Ultra light as in 15 lbs - 18 lbs ?

Thanks. The car was built as a pretty serious track day car but I also wanted something that was a "sleeper" as a DD.

Unfortunately the wheel name is marketing - the wheels are about 23 lb if my memory is correct. I got them because they are 9.5 wide, clear the GT500 front brake kit, came in black and they are pretty strong. The latter was confirmed on my last track day when I hit a curb really, really hard. The tire blew and the rim bent but it didn't break.
