Scored some free Cobra's ...

[JESSEGOTTA GP GT]

My neighbor's ex-husbands mustang has been sitting for a good year after he lost his lisence, and I've been bugging her about the rims, and she FINALLY let me have them for free! The offset is pretty low, and they stick out farther then I wanted, BUT hey, they were free so I'm not complaining. :th_winking: But their only 17's, with 235's so next week I'm gettin new tires and I'll probly get some 245's to fill in a little wheel gap.

[Bio248]

take those off until you lower your car. im not kidding.

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

Thats a good come up right there those fetch a pretty penny

Looks great. Hope you don't get terrible rub issues after you lower it.

haha I know it looks goofy, but I think it'll help some once I get new tires on.

I'm sure I will, they line up perfectly with the top flare part of the fender.

man, get that lowered quick. it'll be sexy as hell after that. props on the free-ness though, that's pretty awesome

 

[noreasonwhyy]

yeah good find/deal.

what's the offset on those? +30?

not really sure, its about 3 inches from the rotor to the lug nuts.

It's next. I just dont want it slammed, but maybe a 1.5 inch drop will be nice.

 

[DaytonaGTP]

those are really awesome... they set just like mine. after you lower it you will rub but only if you bottom out real good... i hardly have any rubbing issues unless i hit a big bump at high speeds. also i prolly have ****ty ass shocks...lol

 

[Bio248]

those cobra wheels probably have a +24mm offset.

that will look great dude. i can't wait to see it.

and as for the 235 vs. 245, i'm assuming that was a typo? first number's width, so you'd be going from 35's to 45's?

 

[kjclawson]

thats really awsome... iv never really seen cobra wheels that look quite like those

what?

 

[SDGTP99]

That offset is either 30+ or 26+ Roll your fenders, lower it & leave those tires on.

 

[Poil336]

what?

he said he was getting 245's to fix wheel gap.
so unless i i completely misunderstand what you guys mean by wheel gap (it's a possiblitly), i suggested getting 45 instead of 35.

as in, 245/45/17's

 

[noreasonwhyy]

gotcha, my bad. the wording threw me off

the tires on their now are 235/45/17 I want 245/45/17

 

[Poil336]

wider's always better lol.
that's not gonna do much for wheel gap though, unless i'm confused
