if i put a set of 17*9 cobra rims on a srt will they clear the breaks or do i have to use a spacer?

which year cobra? those look alot like my '99 cobra wheels on my stang, ford racing has a wheel, the FR500 i'm pretty sure those would fit but i dont think the normal cobra wheels would... pretty sure the srt brakes are just bigger... or if you could find wheels off of an Ford GT or the Shelby GT 500... both have huge brakes..

Be careful about the bolt pattern also as there are suttle differences. Even if they fit around the big brakes, you may need hubcentric rings and because of tiny differences in the bolt pattern, the studs/lugs may not center in the holes.

They Fit Luke you just need hub centric rings and a chrome socket to get them on and off. You cant use an impact socket it's to big. The bolt pattern is off a bit so make sure you torque them well or you will end up at the dragstrip at 10:30 trying to bust the studs to get the wheels off.(right Mike.)

alright thanks guys.. the pattern is off .7mm so they should fit.. and i have a set of spacers local that i can use as well..

I wouldn`t use the spacers....get the hubcentric rings...Jegs has them for about 20 bux.... The rings will center the Cobra rims on the hub of the axle...

They clear. As others have said, be sure to use an appropriate ring so they mount hubcentric. Then take the time to properly tighten the lugs. I usually snug them up in at least four complete steps to make sure the wheel is perfectly centered.

0-110 in 13 seconds (or 0-130 in 11 seconds) is no time to have a wheel that isn't perfectly centered.
