I have the 10th annivesary and don't care for the wheels it came with. I want to go with the chrome Cobra wheels. Looking for input on this thought. Should I go with 17x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear or 18's all the way round?

I would go 18" all around. 18X9 front and 18X10 rear. Are you thinking of '03 Cobra wheels or the 2000 Cobra R wheels? I personally like the 2000s. Especially with aftermarket brakes.

Do the Cobra R wheels have a different offset/backspace for bigger brakes?

I like them strictly for the looks. They're very popular. See for yourself. :)

I like the 10ani rims :shrug:

As for the AFS Replica :nonono: Had them & i em not happy with them at all.

BBS are going on tonight ;-) Rather spend the 600 - 700bucks more vs going through e-bay for the AFS.

IMO.

The wheels belonged to a friend who has since sold his Cobra. I'll try to remember to email him later this afternoon and I'll see if I can get the info for you, as well as whether or not he had an offset issue. I don't think he did since the wheels were bought directly from Ford. They aren't replicas.

I found out the wheels are 9.5 all around and no spacers are used. They fit perfect with no mods.
