Will these wheels fit

[Unoid]

Thinking of having to winter drive my cobra.

Will these wheels fit:

17x7 5x100mm & 5x114.5mm with 40mm offset

?

I doubt it. Every shop I talk to says the offset for mustangs is +24mm so 40 might be too much. Don't quote me but it sounds like they won't clear your brakes.

Good question.
What really matters is backspacing, the amount the rim sticks towards the center of the vehicle. Offset is just the difference from centerline toawrds the outside of the vehicle (you can have positve of negative), so if the center line is half of the OA width...7"/2 = 3.50", and the offset is 40mm (1.57"), then the true back spacing is 3.50" + 1.57" = 5.07"...which is plenty good, max on the back is about 6.5" backspacing and I run 6.11" on the front.

So I think it will be no problem! Hope this helps!

Found out my wheels are: Backsetting is 5 7/8"

So I guess they may fit. Calipers may not get cleared tho.

Yeah, the originals were 17"...but different manufacturers/styles may have different inside diameters...good luck!
