Can the a set of base GT500 wheels with the OEM tires fit on a regular GT? Is a spacer needed in the front?

It looks like the fronts are 20x11 +32mm with 305/30R20.

It will be very close, you might need a small 5-6mm spacer. A good fitting wheel up front is +26 offset.

Although they will stick out past your fenders, so you really need quite a bit of camber to tuck them in.

Hello There, I'm Kj from Need4speed Motorsports. I just wanted to touch this subject about the fitment between the wheels of a base GT500 on a regular GT(Ecoboost included, the bore diameter is the same for these two vehicles).

Based on the information out there, the bore and bolt patterns are the same(5x114.3 and 70.5 mm). Although I have seen a bore for the GT listed at (70mm) as well. I am pretty sure that there are some ways to really find out the exact specs. One difference that must be accounted for is the offset range. I'm finding that for the GT500, it is (30-34) and the GT being (35-55). If there is ever any question on fitment, here is something that may be of use to you. It is Wheel-Size.com

I installed the oem gt500 fenders n my car, so would the tires fit on my car or would any other items such as spacers be required?

2017 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium Convertible
Hello,
I have a 2017 Convertible Mustang Ecoboost Premium with the OEM 20" rims. Wheels size 20" X 9", bolt pattern 5 X 4.5, offset 42.5MM for all four wheels. I have 265/35/20 in the front. And I upgraded the rear tires to 295/40/20. and they fit perfectly and still have a lot of space (like 4" towards the shocks). I bought the OEM 2020 Shelby GT500 wheels (Front wheels size 20" x 11", offset 32MM and rear wheels size 20" x 11.5". offset 50MM) I know the front would rub, but I will change the tires to 275/40/20. For the rear tires, the wheels I bought need two new rear tires. I would like to put 345/30/20 (they fit the rim width perfectly based on the Bridigstone Website). Would the Shelby GT500 wheels with 275/40/20 in the front and 345/30/20 in the back fit my car?
Thank you.
