Anyone Know What Wheels These Are ?

[97JF]

Doesn’t say on the inside ? Just the sizes etc

Thanks

Cobra wheel

 

[RAU03MACH]

Did you get all 4
Those are nice

 

[97JF]

Thanks

do you mean they are a factory cobra wheel ? Any idea what year car they would have been on ?

yes got all 4 , the rears are 17 x 10.5 and the fronts are 17 x 8

the rears have 315/35/17 tyres on so hopefully they won’t be too big

any idea what the best size tyre for the fronts would be ?

 

[RAU03MACH]

94 95 common
But fits 94 04
If factory it would stampings by ford
Replicas won't really have it

 

[RAU03MACH]

Rear should be ok to fit
There are a few that have them

 

[97JF]

Great thanks

the fronts need new tyres , I’m thinking 245/45/17 ?

I need to measure the backspacing too

That is a good size go with that

Factory would be bright chrome, those look to have been painted or some other coating. Perhaps it is just the lighting and dirt.

Repro 95 cobra Rs more than likely OE wheels direct.

there isn't anything stamped on the back of one of the spokes?

 

[RAU03MACH]

I thought black chrome

He said the rear were 17x10.5, so they're not OEM.

315/35x17 on a 10.5” rear will fit. I have the same on my ‘95 Cobra.
The 17x8 fronts? Not sure but my 17x9 fronts have 275/40’s, so you’re likely gonna be narrower.
Go to Nitto.com and punch in 17x8. It’ll tell you what sizes fit

 

[97JF]

Thanks for the replies

I measured the backspacing

The 17 x 10.5’s have 7.25” backspacing and it says + 27 offset on the back of them , so hopefully the 315/35/17’s should fit ok without any rubbing ? Pretty sure my car has been jacked up at the rear in the past as it looks higher than stock , see below pics

The 17 x 8 fronts have 5” backspacing , the offset on the back says 12 but I can see a plus or minus

haven’t bought tyres for the front yet but I’m thinking 245/45/17’s just to be safe , you think all these combos work ?

Here’s my current wheels which are 18’s they are going on my Charger

also any idea what style lug nuts I need for those Cobra wheels ?

Thanks

There was one time I was wondering if your car had some strange European suspension system or if the motor was out of it.

I double checked on the Nitto website. You’re spot on with the 245/45. Even a 255 is too big, shown as requiring a 17x9” wheel. So the 245/45 appears to be the maximum.

Please post pix when they’re on!
