We have found that this cobra brake kit will not fit any of our Bullitt wheels and the 17" FR500 wheels. It will fit the 17x9 and 18x9 Cobra R wheels and the 18" FR500 wheels. All other wheels should be tested with the above method to ensure proper fitment.
This Ford Racing/Brembo kit requires the use of 17" (or larger) wheels with 50mm clearance to the back of the spokes as shown in the picture below.
That would be a no. The spokes come in too much at an angle. I dont even thing 18s do with fr500s. bullets dont either.
Welp looks like I'm looking for new wheels come time to install the brakes lol
Huntington beach??? Dude you're sooooo local! Check out Carbyne Wheels. They are a small company located about 30 miles from you. Their wheels will clear anything, and they are pretty well priced. Popular with drifters
Im actually thinking of running them. Realllly soon.Not a huge fan of the Rivals but I dig the Sprints! Found a picture of them on a S197 on their facebook page and they don't look too bad. They kinda remind me of Volk TE37's but five spoke instead of six.
Im actually thinking of running them. Realllly soon.
Wheels that are known to clear.
True R58 17x9 Cobra r
03/04 Cobra 17x9 wheels
anniversary wheels are still up for debate
MMD 551c 18x9

y2k 18x9.5
17x8 98 Cobra wheel
obviously custom wheel
Im actually thinking of running them. Realllly soon.
I'm looking at moving up to the La Habra area sometime in the near future, might have to stop by their warehouse and see what's up next time I'm up there.
Yeah if I could find some R58's that would be ideal. None of the replica 95R wheels are known to fit? I'd prefer to stay 17's so I could reuse tires instead of having to buy a whole new set yanno.
Do you already have the wheels or the brakes?
