Default swapped my wheels

I didn't like the low profile 17" chrome wheels; too rigid. So I got the 15" steelies painted blue, wide white wall tires, and full moon wheel covers. A more cushy ride.
You like?

How did the 15" wheels clear the brake calipers on the Turbo model? I thought that was not possible?

I've read many GT owners use stock steel wheels in the winter - no spacers.

Sorry for digging up an old thread....
Elaine : where did you get the wheel covers ? I would like to use them on my GT winter wheels.
