I've got them on my '88 T-Bird.They look great.I'd opt for the 17x9 in the rear,and 17x8 for the ffront (i have 17x9 all around).I had to space my fronts out a tiny bit due to width.They look great,really fit the look I like and the look I'm working towards with this car.I'll try to get pics soon.I think under the members rides section,maybe here in the lounge,there's a thread back a ways that shows some pics.I'll see if I can find them and send you that way.My computer is down,so no new pics.I'm at work right now (shhhhhhhh,don't tell anyone).

Or he'd kill the bird.

If you go 5 lug,10.5 inch rear wheels are a great way to go but if you have 4 lug,17x9 for the Cobra R wheels are as wide as it gets.I had thought about doing the 5 lug swap,buty decided that 17x9 is good enough for me.

Well it seems that there is a place to get 17x10.5 in 4 lugs. I happened to just stumble upon this website that has 17x10.5 4 Lug replicas. I dont know how people feel about them being replicas(i personally dont care) or if the wheels are made well though.
On a side note which backspace do you have? They have 2 different versions of the 17x9s I wonder if one would fit the front better.


Edit: No silver version though only chrome plated
