Can a 15" Wheel fit on an 03 Cobra?

[HawkMech]

I just got a killer deal on a set of MT ET Streets and some skinnies mounted on Weld Draglite wheels, but I need to know if there is anyway to put the skinnies on the front of a Cobra with the 13" rotors. Does anyone know if I can just use a thick wheel spacer for this? I'm pretty sure the rears will fit without any problems.

Anybody?

I remember reading about someone doing it with spacers a year or so ago, but it's far from an ideal situation.

Have you searched for the information you require yet? I'm sure it's still on here somewhere...

I tried running a search, but I'm not getting any results yet. I guess I need to figure out a better way to word my search.

I tried some on my cobra last summer. They did'nt fit, I can't remember but I think they hit the rear calipers . I know they don't fit the front due to the large rotors.

Well I decide to do a little R&D of my own. The 15's will clear the brakes in the back, but the hit the spindle right where the tie rod bolts to it. Fear not though, with a little creative grinding, nothing extreme, and about a 1/4" spacer, I'm prettty sure they'll fit fine. I'll let everybody know, once the spacers get here.

I read you have to grind the caliper QUITE a bit, good luck keep us updated.
