I have the GT500's on my '07 GT with 275/40/18's all around. Both the V6 and the GT are equivalent as far as wheel well dimensions are concerned. Check out my pics; there's enough room to fit a small baby in my wells.

I had to put wheel spacers on the front when I went from the stock 16's to my Dark Argent Bullitt 18's but the spacers only ran me about $20 at a local auto parts store.

If you're stepping up to the 18's from a smaller wheel, you may need to replace the stops. Check it in the parts catalog. I thought I had the link but I can't find it.
