Im going to be buying 18x9s for my Cobra and wanted some ideas. So far Im leaning towards chrome Saleens. Does anyone know what back spacing is correct for this application? Any and all pics would be great! Come on show off your ride if it matches this description.:coolman:

Unless you plan to swap out to 5 lug then almost no aftermarket wheels fit on the stock 93 Cobra due to the longer axle and wheel spacing. Of course there is "Forgeline" who can make you what ever your Bank account desires.

Good luck and if you get some 18's please post up some pictures.

Here is how you need to type it out, but use [ ] in lieu of { }.

Someone needs to make the original wheel in an 18x9. Leave the center the same diameter but lengthen the spokes....sexy. racerbox, your car looks right!

Also Nitto makes a drag radial that is 285/35/18. With a 9 inch wheel w/ 5.95 back spacing and 93 stock GT axle length Im hoping this fits on my 1.75" lowered Cobra.
Nobody has these 18" wheels on thier Fox?
