cobra wheels

[staydog1]

Hey guys, I need you all assistance. Can OEM 93 Cobra wheels work/mount on an 85 GT Mustang? If not, how can I make them work?

Thanks for you all assistances.

Yes, they'll mount/fit just fine. Stick with a 245/45 and you shouldn't have any rubbing issues front or rear.

Like mentioned. They will work, but you'll need 93 cobra front rotors and a 93 cobra rear brake setup. The front rotors have 3/4" more track added to the rotor which moves the mounting surface (hub face) of the wheel outboard 3/4". The rear axles are 3/4" longer per side. Basically, to make the OEM wheels work you need the 93 cobra specific front rotors and either a 93 cobra rear brake setup or a 87-88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe rear brake setup.

I have the rear axles without the brakes and the complete front spindles, rotors, 73mm calipers and hoses for sale if you want them. They are still on the car, but a little money would motivate me to get them off quickly. PM me for details if you want. The front brakes have less than 20K miles on them.

Thanks guys for the insight. Goodson, i may be interested in the rear set-up. I have everything already for my front set-up. Do you have any photos of this equipment and we can go from there....that's if you still have the items.

Thanks

Sorry man, they're sold. I sold them way back in the middle to end of October. I move my stuff quick with the network of people I have.

I'm in the process of converting to 5-lug, so my 4-lug '93 Cobra rear disc set-up is for sale. Let me know if you are interested.

Yes brother...very much so.

Which parts are you interested in? Right now the axle is complete (and still under the car). The only parts I need are the gears and the differential. You can have the axles, the brakes, the housing, etc. It is no problem for me to yank the axle or whatever parts you want, just let me know.

Thanks,
Vince

cool. i'm good with my gears and the differential. i'd just need the rest and i'll be good-to-good. how bad...do you plan to hurt me and my pockets?:lol1:

Why not sell off the OEM cobras for some good coin and then buy the replica cobras with the correct offset for your car? This will also save having to change your axles and rotors. You'll probably have some money to spare.

I agree, plus you will get 8.5 wide instead of our handicapped 7.5's
