Are performance pack front brakes the same as 2013/2014 GT500?

Maybe you guys can help me. I own a 2014 GT500 and want to buy the new VMS Racing wheels. They are telling me it won’t fit my car but fits S550 performance pack cars...We both share the same 6 piston rotor and 15 inch caliper. Any help is appreicated. I also attached the wheels.

Thanks

Although the rotor diameter is the same, the thickness is different. The S550 rotors are slightly thicker than the GT500 rotors.

This, however, should have no bearing in fitment since the front offset would be the same between the S197 and S550 vehicles. You should be good to pull the trigger.

The wheel lug diameter also changed on the 2015+ to a larger size than the previous cars. I did have a set of stock rims from a 2011 GT Brembo brake car that I used with snow tires on my 2015 GT, though. I'm not sure whether there could be an issue with the lug nuts or lugs that for some reason didn't cause me a problem but might for you.
