Black Saleen 18x10's on Red Cobra (pics)

[runin1320]

I am in the process of converting my '93 Cobra to five lug using '03 10th Ann. hardware. I have had the rear done for a while now and have been running a set of 5 lug replicas but I wanted something different for the track. I think that they would almost work like this but I have shorter Moser axles to push the tires in a little which wil help when I install the lowering springs. I should have this complete front and rear next week after I get a few bits for the front.

I think that it will look great once I get it lowered and new axles installed. (note that rims are not bolted up due to the need for reduced diameter lug nuts)

Let me know what you think! :beer:

Pictures have the following:
1993 Cobra
1997 Cobra Axles (longer than FOX)
FMS Brackets
Stock Springs

that looks great!!

 

[motor_head]

those saleens make a really big difference!!!

 

[g00se]

Nicely done!

 

[Red Turtle]

looks good, but it looks like your drivers side is high (mine was as well on my 2). Maybe think about trimming the Drivers side rear spring a 1/4" to even things out.

Looks good! I have the C springs on my teal car, good stance.

To each their own. I think some blacked out tri-stars like a 93 R would look a LOT better!

Hey, you ever have that car to the Uftring Ford dealer car show? I use to live in the Quad Cities, and would go to that show ever year. I might have even seen your car there if you had it back in 99-02

I might have missed it, but what year spindles did you use?

94/95

Got it done...

Is it me or do the front wheels stick out past the fender? Do you have any better pics of the wheel/fender aspect? I am wanting to put these on my coupe and just need to figure out a few more things.

Holy crap that looks great!!! I plan to put on the four lug chrome 18" Saleen replicas in the future.
