Im sure this has been a subject beaten to a bloody pulp but im looking to buy some FR500's and I would like to see some pictures out there of these wheels on a lowered car in either size. Other reason for this is to see if either size wheel rubs at all front or back. Anything would be a help.
17 or 18 FR500 wheels

H&R SS no isos up front. 1/2 coil cut in front.
18x9/10... 305s in back. they rub but only up my driveway if I'm not careful.

18's for sure dude.
18s for 2 reasons,
1. you can put the brakes from hell on the car w/o interference
2. if you autocross there are literally thousands of race car take off to use in 18 inch..and cheap

That car looks sick! Do you have the front or rear fenders rolled by any chance?
18's i have 17's on my car now and dont like it i want some 18's!
I have stock cobra r 17 's and need some change well and some tires too. I think after posting this I'm sold on the 18s! Any good places to get some tires for good prices?
17s for me.
18's all the way you'll be a lot happier!!!!!!!!! With good struts,shocks & springs you won't have any problems with rubbing at all.
18s all day. I have 18x9/10 as well with 275 35s up front and 295/35s in back ISO in on eibach pro springs with no ribbing at all ever
How does your pro kit sit so low my sportlines aren't even that low.
18s all day long. These cars don't look right with 17s, just too small.
My old car, BBK 1.5" linear rate, no ISOs front or rear, Tokico Illuminas 275/35/18 rear 245/35/18 front
Current car
FRPP "C" springs, ISOs are in in this pic, stock shocks/struts (they're sagged a little), 18x9.5 all around with 245/35 front 285/35 rear

I think my springs are toast. Probably got lowered in 98' :dw: lol idk really it may be a deceiving pic with shade and such

17"dont look horrible, but 18" just fill it out better.
Hyper coated fr500s look sweet! Do they still make these? I haven't seen these before.
Thanks for all the input my fellow cobra owners! Im sold on the 18s now after looking at all these posts:rockon:
18 are much better. 17s are just a tad small
I don't think they make them anymore. Don't know what I'll do if I mess one up. Probably go black.

They are not rolled. Only rub up my steep driveway if I'm not careful
