15in wheel with out grinding

Is there a 15in wheel made that will clear the cobra knuckles and brakes with out having to grind on the suspension? I am not wanting to have to grind anything if I absolutey dont have to

i don't think so. several years ago there was talk about billet specialties making one, but it never materialized.

Nope. Just go with a 16" rear. Only way your not grinding is to put a SRA rear end. Then you still need the MM rear brake line kit.

Go with the 16" rear rims save the $120+ on the MM brake lines. and put it towards some rims/tires.

I see your in AZ to bad. There is a kid here in MN(Bdubbs) that has a rear set of True forged in 16's.

While newer 15" rims are a little bigger on the inside then say some 80's centerlines were, still not going to fit.

Yup, I have brand new True Forged mach 5 wheels for sale. Size is 16x9.5" with 6.25" backspacing.

16" tire selection blows, something to keep in mind. There ARE great tires in 16", you are just limited.

^This is what im seeing I can' find a 26 or 27inch tall slick in 16s I can find a 28 but I'm dont thing I really will have the power for those when the car is ready to race in a few months. I' trying to get everthing lined up for this build.

You do not need any special brake lines to work with a solid axle. OEM brake lines fit perfect.

If your going to a 15" rim you do. And isn't that what he is asking?

Wait I think there is some miscommunication here. Are you saying you need MM brake lines to run 15" wheels with a SRA or an IRS?

I don’t know of any 15’s that will clear without grinding. Years ago when I first got my cobra I had some 15x10 Prostar xp’s which are supposed to have more clearance. I previously had used them on my solid axle 01 Saleen and hoped they might fit the cobra. Almost but not quite. I ended up just running drag radials on a extra set of factory 17x9’s. Eventually went to a bias ply M/T ET Steet 26x10.5x17 then to a Hoosier 28x10x17. I don’t think you can get the bias ply 26 M/T ET Streets any longer but I still have a set in pretty good shape if you decide you want to try em out.

I have M&H 26x11.5x16 bias ply on 16x7.5 ponys. Its super cheap, bolts up with zero mods and works well at the track.

These ones

Yeah I have the M&H cheaters. They do bulge on the 7.5 pony but they work. No complaints.

Thanks may go this route.
