wheels

[ralphcobra]

I tried search but did not get a real answer. so here goes. I don't want to change over to five lug because i want to run my real wheels most of the time but a couple times a year I would like to road race my cobra at some of southern tracks. I want to run 17 inch hoosiers for the race only. Does anyone know of a correct backspace wheel that I could use to mount the race tires that will not scrape badly in some of the tight turns .
I road race my svos all the time and I know what to use with five lugs, but unsure with the four lug setup. Any help? Thanks, Ralph :shrug:

I think the only luck your gonna have is with a company ROH. They are the only people ive seen with 4 lug 17's, well and the fake looking cobra r's...but i dont know if the offset would be right or not. Why not buy another set of 93 cobras for track duty?? is 7.5 not wide enuf??

I e-mailed (ccw) the other day with an interest in custom wheels. My reply was that they can do it I just needed to give them a call. Go to www.ccwheel.com and contact them. I don't know for sure, but I believe ROH has to be custom ordered also, anyway that was my experience with them. Good luck.....keep us posted on your outcome.

Don't look now, but I think CCW has filed for bankrupcy - saw that on a board somewhere...

The BBK (Speedware) Cobra R's will rub on the inner lip of the rim with the wheels cut all the way to the left or right, that's with a 245/45/17 Nitto 555 on the front. I had the chrome ones on a previous 91 5.0 LX. Roh does make good 4-lug 17's, I belive that they are 17X8 or 8.5. My brother has a set of Roh's on his 92 GT and they don't rub at all.

my roh's rubbed on my stock lx in the front when i had michellin tires with stock brakes and c springs up front. i changed to h&r and had the fenders rolled and the passenger rear always rubbed on dips, etc and with a passenger. also had them with my baer brakes.
