Cobra wheels

[BADBOYSPACK]

There was a site that i followed some link from here, any way it had the new GT500 for the older mustangs in a 4 lug design.

I was wondering if any one knew where that site was.

Im thinking of putting those wheels on my 93' cobra, so I will need to check to see if they will fit

I was looking in 5.0 Magazine and found an add for www.oewheelsdirect.com
that had them in 17 x 9 4 lugs. I tried the web site but it must be down right now...so here is the phone # 951-276-1608

thanks for the site

Were these the new gt500 wheels in a 4 lug pattern ?

 

[93KingCobra]

Yes ...with or without the buttons on the outter edge.

Damn Site Is Still Down, Is This The Correct Site, Or Is The Web Address Wrong ?

Try this link , But they look just like the old corvette ZO6 wheels(see below) , you would think Ford could come up with a more original design.

ZO6

GT500

• Size: 17x9
• 4x4.25 Bolt Circle
• Offset +24

Is this the correct offset to bolt these right up to the 1993 Cobra ?

I would rather not use any spacers of any kind

still wondering if this wheel is the correct offset for the 1993 Cobra with no spacers or any mods needed at all.

Does anyone know ?

More than likely they will work but will fit the same as the 79-93 cobra Rs do on a 93 Cobra. They will probably stick out just a little, maybe rub at times on the rear wheel opening. Because 99% of the 4lug cars are non-Cobras, that is what the wheelmakers, make them fit . Just install GT front rotors and go. I wonder if it would be safe to have a machine shop take a 1/4 inch of the axle mating surface of the wheel?, this would help a lot on the rear. Try this link maybe it will help you.

does anyone like the new GT500 wheel ?

 

[LEE93COBRA]

I do. That maybe what I throw on my SVO if I can make them work

 

[cobr96]

Not really, Like I said earlier looks like a zo6 wheel .

 

[BADBOYSPACK]

come on cobr96, there are not that bad, and yea they do look similar, but its Fords version

 

[BADBOYSPACK]

I do. That maybe what I throw on my SVO if I can make them work

The SVO from what I know the SVO and the cobra is very close to the same car. Well the other 4 cylinders and the turbo

I mean the basic same of the brake system ,axles, etc..

If you think there will be a problem with putting the wheels on, let me know

I would love to see the "eleanor" wheel on a Fox cobra, do they exist for our cars?

 

[svtdriven]

i think it looks better than the Z06 wheel, but it is very similar. the new saleen wheel looks like it came off a BMW.

Actually the rear in the SVO is even wider than our 93's. So it limits you on what wheels. I am wanting to swap to sn95 stuff up front (brakes/spindles) so that I am not limited on my wheel choice

Hey BADBOYSPACK, I'll trade you my chrome 03 Cobras for your stockers. I'm looking to go stock. ;-)
