New Cobra Rims Dont fit.

[Cobra EssVeeTee]

Hey guys, i was at work and received a call from the local tire shop, they said they couldnt get the rear tires on because i bolt was sticking out. anyways the guy did a horrible job explaining, and i havent checked on it myself.. anyone know what might be the cause of this?i plan on going check it out, just seeing if you guys might have had something like this happen. the setup in the rear are 17x10.5 cobra reps, with 315/35R17 Nitto R555's. thanks

It's the irs bolt. You need low profile ones or grind the stockers down. Don't grind to far though. Also they tend to run into the tire sidewall until you lower the car off the jack.

so only 1 on each side needs to be grinded?

If its that bolt then yes, one per side. If it were me I'd grind it down so the head is rounded and thatll work fine. I'd go home and order the new bolts off lethal performance for $10 and replace them though. They can probably look behind the wheel and see it hitting there

Let start off right - get the bolts here...

Low Profile IRS Subframe Bolts, pair, 1999-04 Cobra [MMF-1] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader!

Yep, it's the IRS bolts. With 315's in the back you'll need Maximum Motorsports low profile IRS bolts and in all likelihood hub centric spacers. I have 18x10.5 Cobra Chrome replicas with 295's in back. I only used the MM low profile bolts and have about 3/8th's inch of clearance on both sides with the suspension is fully decompressed.

Both of these items can be done at home in the garage in about 1 hour's time. I did the suspension bolts myself.

I got my lo pro IRS bolt kit from lethal and installed tonight. It only took 10 minutes but it helps that I have a lift at home. The kit is like 20 bucks. It's not worth the headache of grinding bolt heads and this way it's much cleaner.
