93 replica wheels vs. OE wheels

Its all about tolerances. Our cars aren't built all the same. For example, my rearend is off center by more than the average of a half inch or so. I have rubbing in LH inside fenderwell with stock wheels and nitto drag radials.
Same here 275 Mickeys on stock!

Man I want a red one too!!!
C'mon MillCreek, lets gitrdone with some pics! Those little ones in the sig are, well... little ones in a sig.
And on a productive criticism note: all the rear shots in here (for the most part) don't show anything useful to anyone curious about the clearance on fenders and such. It looks like you're all showing off your blacked out license plates. Although, since none of those appear to be of the repro wheels, I suppose that doesn't really matter.

You would be correct ...... it doesn't matter!
Nor is it relevant.
Ordered a pair of repros yestiddy, should be here by the end of the week. We shall see if they fit.
IN other news: LRS new shipping policy KICKS ASS. Any individual item that can be shipped UPS ground is $14.95, no matter how much you buy. This rocks!

Please post up how they fit I would look into this for a option for some wider rims on the sticky's.
Count on it.
With multiple pics.

275 in the back with stock rim's.
Damn low!!
WTF.
That's like, pimpin' low.
If it weren't such an otherwise pristine black on black example it would be almost sad.

Just fyi, everyones 275's aren't the same width, some companies measure differently, and on narrower wheels, the full 275mm isn't on the ground. Many foxes will fit a 315 DR with the right wheel. I know we are discussing an 8.5" wheel, and a DR with that width 'should' be a 275--drag cars like a bit of sidewall flex. Most DR's are rounded on the edges and not square. I had 275's on an 8" wheel with slight rub at lowered height; that being said, I have a 98' rearend in my car--track is about 1.5" wider than stock. Rolled the fenders and absolutely fixed the problem. I finally got my upper control arms dialed in and now my axle is square, so 275's go without being close to the fenders.

Not to blow the mission and amble even further off topic, but how did you go about rolling your fenders? How did the paint hold up?
Stock 93 Cobra wheels are 17x7.5 not 8.5
If you're talking to bat-stang, he's probably referring to the repros.
?

Thanks for the info carguy but I was referring to repros... I rolled my fenders with a baseball bat. I did get some flaking of paint in the inside. Nothing has manifested at the edge of the lip or outside.
