some you have a stang with a 17 x 10.5 in the back? post pics for see how it looks, i will buy a new wheels , i think 17 x 9 or maybe 17 x 10.5 in the back, but i need pics to see

Here are my 10.5" rims with 315's out back. The vert has the 10.5's, the coupe has the stocker 9" that came off my vert.

Rims are Here

the difference in a 245 to a 255 is 10mm, every 24.5 mm is an inch and you figure 5mm per side~ so thats not very much of a difference overall~ about 5mm perside = 1/5th of an inch.

if you want a 10.5 inch rim you need a huge tire to go on there, a 315 at least.

i like your car, a question, 17 x 9 in the front and using tohos tires(275/40)
cause rubbing at full lock?

[Scut95]

thanks man....Im running falken which run a bit small so i dont have any rubbing....but im sure running toyos wont cause rubbing either....if it does, it would be minimal

my question is because my 2001 stang has 17 x 9.5 all around, in front im running michellin pilot sport 255/40/17 and 285/40/17 in the back, and have the rubbing "problem" at full lock, mayne that .5 inch is the difference

[SpectorV]

na 17x9 wheels with the correct (ford) offset will rub a bit at full lock BUT you shouldnt be going to full lock anyway... they are OEM on 03/04 cobra if that tells you anything. ford just installed a clip in the steering rack to keep them from turning to much and rubbing~ you are hitting the front sway bar and if not that the A arm.

And 255s are way too narrow for a 9.5" rim.

[carlosc]

any of you know what the factory bolt pattern and the offset in the cobra 03/04??

[SpectorV]

offset is 6.11 is memory serves me right and bolt pattern is the same as 94-04 mustangs (all are the same)

the bolt pattern is 4.5 ??

[SpectorV]

its in inches, its the distance from the hub to the front edge of the rim if I remember right. I had all this in the huge wheel/tire article i wrote but its no on the new server yet. The 95 model cobra R rims with oem ford offset *17x9 inches as well* are 5.95 offset if that helps.

[carlosc]

you do know the bolt pattern on a v6 2001?? if not i will need to measure this
