Question What size skinnies (wheels) needed to clear 13" cobra brakes?

Can you run a 15" diameter with a spacer? What size backspacing?

THanks

Bogart offers 15x4 front runners with a spacer welded to the wheel which clears 13" brakes.

You could get some Greg Weld 17x4.5 wheels. They clear and cost $99 each right now.

Here's what the Bogarts look like that are made to clear Cobra brakes.



These are pictures of how they fit with factory length A arms and then with 1" shorter than factory A arms.

Get 2 spare tires from a Cobra and put some Hoosier skinny 17 inch tires on it.
