[QUOTE="93Cobra#2771, post: 1044258, member: 4599"] The wheels wouldn't be "exactly" our offset, they would just not stick out the extra inch that the 5.0 offset will cause on our cars. Basically, the current wheel they are doing sticks out about 1/4" further than a standard 5.0 wheel. Add the 3/4" that our cars add, and that equals about 1". So, his current offering will stick out 1" further than our stock wheels currently do. Can we expect some clearance problems with the rear fender lip without rolling the lip? It will vary according to tire size, but I will guess there will be some issues during full suspension compression/extreme driveway angles, etc. I too am planning on a set for the rear only. Will the front rims hit? Heck, mine will hit now if I crank all the way to the lock. They will work, I believe, just have to put some of the steering rack limiters on to keep them from hitting at full lock. I just wanted to keep my stock size rims on the front, and a wider rim on the back. An easy fix to get the standard 5.0 rims to fit the front would be to remove your 3/4" spacers off your Baer brakes, Lee. :D In the rear, we could always get a set of standard 5.0 length axles and use the north race cars relocation brackets for the rear rotors. I just don't want to purchase new axles at this time. [/QUOTE]
