Can someone please tell me what wheel size I need to run on my 97 Cobra!!

I'm getting conflicting stories regarding what wheel B.S. size I need to run on my 97' cobra.

I'm looking to fit 15x10 draglites or prostars over stock rear discs and calipers. I've been told that in order to do this I would need to run a 6.5" backspace with standard Mustang GT caliper mounting brackets. I've also been told that I can us 5.5" backspacing and retain the factory caliper mounting brackets. Which is true?

For the fronts I'm assuming it is simply 15x3.5 with 1.75" backspacing?

Thanks for the help

for 15x10's it is 6.5" BS but you need to grind down the banjo bolt. A 15x8 w/ 5.5" BS fits with no modifications.

Yes fronts are 15x3.5-4" w/ 1.75" BS but you're going to need spacers and to be safe 3" studs.

Thanks. Forgive me if I sound like a moron but what bolt are you referring to when you say "banjo?"

The bolt that bolts to your caliper and is attached to your brake line.
