Ok, by no means the best picture I ever took - but it should give the basic idea!

Well guys I just called wheel replicas and placed my order with Greg for qty 2 17*10.5 chromie deep dishes! Shipping today will have them tomorrow, since I am in Dallas.

Anyway, all they have available (to answer all the questions) are the 17" wheels in 9 and 10.5 width, machined finish and chrome.

I have been requested to send pics to wheel replicas after the install later this week....stay tuned!

BTW: $ 175.00 each for the deep dishes, I did not ask for pricing on the 17*9s

how ever it is that the 18x10 fr500s wheels fit, they fit perfectly on the 03/04 cobra... and thats how the deep dish 03 cobras need to fit. They should offer 10 inch wide rims as well not 10.5, do 10 and and 11

Was it free shipping?

Whats the most popular 315/35/17 tire to run?? I currently have Cooper Zeon 2XS 275/40/17 - they've lasted about 12k and still have some tread life

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 - I'd like to put these all the way around. 275 front stock wheel, 315 rear on the deep dish.

What do you guys think?

Hi,

These should bolt up with no problems. They are 17x10.5 with a +20mm offset, instead of the +27mm that you may be use to.
So:
6.54 Backspace
4.96 Frontside.

Those with 17x11 wheels are probably running 7 inch backspace and 5 inch frontsides (mounting pad to outer lip) -- and yes the 7 + 5 = 12 inches, bead to bead is 11, flange (front and rear) is 1 inch. American Racing use to do the XR Lemans wheel in forged years ago with this.

ok i hate to sound like a wet blanket on this because i think they really look terrific, esp in the machine finish

but i have a technical mind when it comes to measurements:

the stock wheel/tire barely clear the stock irs bolt at full droop, maybe .5 inch play

the stock wheel has a 6.12 inch backspace

i was under the impression that to remain fully irs compliant the new design woudl have to maintain a maximum of 6.12 inch backspace

so with a 6.54 inch backspace are we sure that this 10.5 wheel, with say a 315/35/17 tire, is going to fully clear the irs bolt at full droop?

I asked that question when I ordered. Grag said these were designed for the Cobra's IRS and could be run with a 315 tire without a spacer. Give him a call at Wheels Replicas and have him explain it to you because he could probably explain it better than me.

I think you are thinking of the regular replica 10.5's. (What a lot of people are running) They have a 6.8 inch backspacing and are very close so this would leave about another 1/4 inch or so of room.

They should fit perfect.

Erik should have his wheels today so he can chime in with the actual measurements between the two.
