Can i fit 15's in my cobra

luis9988 · July 15th, 2009, 08:38 PM

i got a 98 mustang cobra and i was wondering if i could fit 15's up front thanks.

As in front runners? Yes you can, you have to get a specific backspacing.

Mustang RacR94 · July 15th, 2009, 08:51 PM

youll have to space them like jake said, otherwise they wont clear the calipers.

so can you literally take your 17s off and throw 15s on right now without changing anything, no sir you cannot

luis9988 · July 15th, 2009, 08:53 PM

what ofset is it do you guys know

luis9988 · July 15th, 2009, 08:58 PM

and what would be the smallest size i could fit without having to mess with it?

futureMACH1racer · July 15th, 2009, 08:59 PM

I would go with 15x3.5 in a 185/50/15

luis9988 · July 15th, 2009, 09:21 PM

what about 16's would they clear good

futureMACH1racer · July 15th, 2009, 10:12 PM

Go with the 15" wheels, you won't regret it.

ReverendDexter · July 15th, 2009, 10:19 PM

Wait... why put 15s on the front? I understand 15s on the rear for slicks....

luis9988 · July 15th, 2009, 10:33 PM

well i dont want to have my front wheel bigger in the front and smaller in the back i want it even then ill look like a honda

Mustang RacR94 · July 16th, 2009, 02:02 AM

smallest rim you can run is a 17 without using some sort of spacer, which is quite easy to install, some people like them some people dont.

are you building a straight drag car or what?

99blkcobra · July 16th, 2009, 02:10 AM

why do 15 in front is it for the weight?

Mod mach · July 16th, 2009, 04:20 AM

I don't think so maybe 16's.

futureMACH1racer · July 16th, 2009, 08:12 AM

He was asking about front runners. I myself prefer the look of a set of Weld Pro Stars on the car.

light weight. the weight savings is huge!

btw- running a 15x3.5 on the cobra will require longer studs and a spacer...
