what in the hell is with the fact that... Reply #10 – November 24, 2008, 11:48:55 AM Don't the '93 Cobra wheels (the real ones) have a different offset/backspacing than your typical 4 lug fox Mustang wheel? Quote Selected
what in the hell is with the fact that... Reply #11 – November 24, 2008, 12:10:09 PM Well if you're using actuall stock, OEM '93 Cobra wheels, therein lies your problem. They had more offset than the non-Cobras did, thus they will be pulled in more.The '93 Cobra used the "TC" rear brake set-up and was also wider in the front with rotors with taller "hats" to match and thus needed different offset wheels to fit properly.

what in the hell is with the fact that... Reply #12 – November 24, 2008, 01:44:48 PM But wouldn't the offset be different because the wheels are perhaps WIDER than a regular Mustang or Tbird wheel?(btw, I think this is post 100 for me:D ) Quote Selected
