89 GT with Chrome 03 Cobras.
I got them from Todd at Discount Direct. They are 17X9 with the 20mm offset. The Tires are Kumo 245/45/17. The only problems I had was that my car is lowered so the wheels would rub the A-arms. I had to install a set of Rack Limiters from Ford.

See my Sig for pics!

I do not think the wheels on either of my cars are made any longer, but here you go.

My LX with 17x8.5 fronts(255/45s) and 17x9.5 rears(275/40s), chromed ROH ZR6 wheels(center caps off in the picture). I had to trim my front fenders when I went to the Griggs front suspension and had to roll the rear fenders some to clear those tires, a 265 tire would have required no rolling.

My Saleen with 17x8 fronts(235/45s) and 17x9 rears(245/45s), Stern wheels. My rear fenders have been rolled a ton and I still get some tire rub on hard bumps, car has a Cobra IRS in it so I think that might be wider than the 8.8 that was originally in there with Mark VII brakes. I probably am going to change these wheels out with something, just not sure what since I am unsure what will fit all around on it.

Here's my 1979 Cobra with Weld Draglites.

Front:
15x7 with 215-50-15's (4.5" backspacing)
B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's - 215-60-15

Back:
15x8's with 295-50-15's (4.5" backspacing)
B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's - 295-50-15

From the looks, I do not believe StangerBanger is using any spacers. His setup is similar to mine, with the SN95 axles in the back (.75" longer on each side) and the SN95 spindles up front (he has '94-'95 spindles, I am using the '96+). The wheels are factory '98 GT rims which are 17X8s. I use the same type of rims (just not as nice looking) for my autocross rubbers.

The rear brakes make your rear end wider? The link you gave were for anniversery wheels, these the ones you got?

Thanks
Short throw..... Waite til it get out of the body shop in a couple weeks. It's going to be a total transformation into a Cobra Clone. I'll post pics when it gets back.

They are real close. I say dead on the fender.

[Hokie D]

Wow! Those 94-95 GT 17" wheels still look great on a fox. I also like the 1998 GT wheels on a Fox. Too bad they're all 5 lug. Hate spending extra money on something that ain't broke.

My stock 16" ponies are ugly - hate 'em!! Thinking about 4 lug ROH ZS next time I need new tires...

Man, that is one of the nicest coupes I have seen in a while. I love the rim combo on there. Those wheels are definitely different, I have never seen those on a fox-body before. If you don't mind me asking, how much did those wheels run you? If you want, I can post the pic on here for you. Nice car!!!!

One more thing, those rims have the same bolt pattern with that Ford brake kit, but just SN-95 spacing?

From what I researched and found online, the Moda wheel line is made by Radius in Italy, as it is cast on the wheel inside and came with both sets of center caps. Here is the Radius site, there is a .pdf you can download with all the models, offsets, and sizes:

http://www.radius-autotech.com/

Or look at tirerack.com for the Moda series.

The bolt pattern is 5 on 114.3 mm (= to 5 on 4.5" if you convert mm to "s), same as M2300k brake and the SN95. Spacing happened to work well on the Fox, but of course the SN95 has tons more room for wheels. I find the perfect set up for Fox w/ m2300 k is 8 wide w/ about 5.75 b/s and 9 wide w/ about 6.75 b/s. (perfect for me means looks wide and filled up but does not rub on turns or bumps - sure you can go wider but it gets to be a hassle in my opinion)

Thanks for the info. I totally agree 100% with your theory.

[duddor]

pupdog, thats one of the sweetest verts I've ever seen. Nice job.

[93FIVEOH]

Pupdog....nice!!!!! 1993 Cobra wheels are IMO the best looking wheels on a fox-body. Chrome makes them look even twice as nice.

[pupdog5oh]

Thanks alot for the compliments. It took me a while to find those wheels in the condition I was looking for.

[Fiveofeen]

16" cobra r's 5 lug. these are temp wheels while the car gets painted. then its sonic blue paint, and 17x8 & 17x10.5 bullets w/ 245' up front 275' or 315 out back.

Edit: Here is what I ended up doing to it. 17x9's all around with 245's and 275's for tires. (Its been done a long time, dont worry it didnt take six years to pull it off!)

How are you going to fit 10.5s in the back?

[Lickmstickmman]

LXNOGT, hope that combo works for you... I have 17x8 bullits on a 93gt with Kumho 255/50-17s and they rub the inside and the quad shock. I made a poor tire size choice for the back, should have went with 245/50-17 like the front! But I wanted to fill the wheel well better, now it's too much...live and learn!

Here is a link to mine and a buddies fox bodies with the new bullets on, mine is the red one.
