[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 16342524, member: 38517"] Wheels are going to depend highly on what method is used to attach the calipers to the spindles. Seems there are a few different methods in play. I can only speak from my experience but my first version of the inserts did not clear 17" wheels. The caliper hit the barrel of the rim and did not allow it to bolt up. Wasn't even close. I imagine this would be similar if you were to modify/redrill the spindle and use the M14 bolts in the original inserts. 18" wheels should clear fine. Once I made Rev 2 with a 3mm drop, it would clear the barrel of the 17" wheels perfectly with 1-1.5mm to spare. However spoke clearance was the next issue (and this is common to the 2000 Cobra R's as well). The only 17x8 wheel I tried that cleared was the 98 Cobra wheel. This was only with the caliper inserts that featured the 3mm drop. I believe these are the only 17x8 that cleared the 00R calipers as well. The 17x8 bullitts, 99/01 Cobra and 94-97 Cobra wheels I tried did not have enough spoke clearance. I would need to run a spacer to mount them up fine. [/QUOTE]
