Fox rims/tires

I'm probably buying OEM 03 cobras which are 17x9 245x45. I do have a 5 lug conversion but since I didnt do the conversion I'm not sure what year axles they are so I'm just curious about clearance issues and what not. Feedback please!!!

Drums or disks out back?

9" wheels tend to stick out with SN95 disks, so hopefully you have the fox lenght axle and drums out back.

There are ways to modify SN95 rear disk setups to use fox lenght axles, but you'll need to buy parts.

Sn95 axles and 9" wheels will put the wheel pretty much even or slightly past the fender lip. You may hit when you hit a bump



Also, up front, if you just have the fox 5-lug rotors, and not an Sn95 conversion, you prob will need a small spacer, extended lugs and might not be able to run the center cap.

hmmmmm.... that last part doesn't sound too appealing.

Depends on the wheel. Some aftermarkets fit fine....OE SN95's get a little tricky. Might need a 1/8" or 1/4" spacer and some bashing of the dust cap.


Out back with drums, should be okay. May need to flip or ditch the quads.
