I am looking to possibly get a set of replica 2003 Cobra Wheels for my '99 Sport, here are the wheel specs:
18x9 with a +26mm offset (6.11 backspacing) on the front.
18x10.5 with a +27mm offset (6.9 backspacing) on the back.
Now, from reading a few threads I have come away knowing that the 18x9's up front will be fine but my questions is what about the 18x10.5 in the back. Will they rub or would I have to get out the hammer on the inner fenders to make them fit. Also would these stick out past the fenders?
Here is a pic of what I am looking to get:
I have always loved these wheels and had them on my 2002 GT although they were of the 17 inch variety.
I was thinking about a 255/55/18 on the front and a 295/50/18 on the back.
That would make for a 29 inch tall front and a 29.6 in the back.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
