will this rim fit on the rear of an 03 cobra, i would be using a 3/8" spacer and low profile IRS bolts. also has anyone seen 19" rims on these cobras?
will 18x11's fit on the rear of 03 cobra?

Whats the specs on those 18x11s? Offset? Backspacing? Thanks.
Id love to see rear end pics of those 11's
Depends on backspacing, I have 18x11's.
Car looks sick man! That thing is slammed!!
Tons of us run 18x11s. I do. No spacer, no IRS bolts right now with 295/35/18s and Im 1.5" lower than stock. Theres a handful of guys running 19s as well
You would have to contact CCW for that. Its whatever specs they use for the 03/04 Cobra wheels.
Best pic I have at the moment. 335s will be going on soon so Ill be getting some better ones. I know 335s will stick out a bit farther but I might be able to sneak a small spacer in there as well if I need some clearance or want the wheels out a little bit more.
The rear is for sure. Not happy with the fronts so Im thinking about going back to the stock cut front coils and maybe taking a bit more off. From certain angles the fronts looks great but when I get close I can really see the height difference. The first side profile pic is with the cut stock springs up front. These pics I just posted are Steeda Sport springs on all 4 corners. Thanks again :beer:

If I could fit 18x11s with 315s on my IRS equipped 96 then 99-04 guys should have no problem doing it.
CCW Classics. 18x9.5" front & 18x11" rear. No one makes a 335/35/18, only a 335/30/18. With a spacer and low profile bolts you shouldn't have any issues. I'm gonna try and fit 335s without a spacer. CCW sets up their wheels specifically for the Cobras so we dont have the fitment issues most have
ha! learn something new everyday. and thats awesome to know that ccw is a perfect fit. did you have to make any mods to the front to fit those rims? without knowing, my cobra came with crappy cobra r replicas and i went to rotate the wheels one day and the rear wheels were like a half inch wider than the front and when they put them on the front, the wheel cut the abs wiring. when i got that fixed, the mechanic said he moved the wiring on both sides so that wouldn't happen again. did you have to do something like that at all?
FYI fellas, the approved rim width for a 335/30R18 is 11.5-12.5. So 11.5 is the bare minimum width.
The max tire for an 11.0 inch rim is 315/30R18.
Manufacturers spec wheels and tires for a reason.
Not telling anyone what to do, but whatever you decide, please consider keeping safety in mind. We are on the road too.

Doc, thanks. just put another wrinkle in my brain.
I have CCW sp500's. 18x9.5 in the front and 18X11 in the rear. I run a 315/30/18 tire in the rear with the irs bolts without any fitment issues. Matter of fact these wheels fit better then the 17X10.5 stock Cobra wheels I had on there before I moved to 18's. The CCW's tuck in better without sticking out. As for the 18X9.5 fronts they fit without any modification.
I have the same size ccws as Jefe, my backspacing is 6.75" rear and 6.25" front. In installed the low profile irs bolts when I mounted them for safety, but I didn't need them. Running 315/30/R18 Michelin PS2's.
So, yes they will fit.

no spacers with the 18x11's? the sp500's are the ones ill be aiming for. pricey but soooo worth it. what size tires are you running in the front with the 9.5"'s?
I am running 275/35/18 Michelin PS2's up front and 315/30/18 Michelin PS2's out back. No spacers out back. I am very happy with my CCW's and to top it off they have great customer service.
I don't run spacers with my true forged wheels but did install low pro bolts even though I didn't need to. Rears are 11" wide with 335's.
Wow that sucks. No mods whatsoever right now besides Caster Camber plates for the alignment
Well my rims are 11" but if you measure from lip to lip(which is where the tire seats), they are actually 12". Not sure on Cobra rims but I imagine they should be the same.
Awesome. Which tires? Any pictures of the clearance? Assuming TF and CCW set up their backspacing the same
Nitto dr's. I'll get some good pics and measurements and post tomorrow.
