Cobra R brakes with 2003 10th anniversary cobra wheels...?

Gen1sve · February 28th, 2007, 10:47 PM

I am building a turbo mustang and I am in the middle of my brake system I have the Brembo Cobra Kit from the 2000 Cobra R. I am trying to use the 2003 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels. I have read on forums that any 2003 cobra wheels will work. I have called Ford Racing Tech and they state that they wont fit. I am looking for someone to please measure from the face of thier front rotor to the spoke. This measurement is all I need to verify these wheels will work. Someone please help!!!

This kit requires 17" wheels with 50mm clearance to the back of the spokes as shown in the picture below. 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.

The rotors are 13" I know I need 50mm of spoke clearance. I am looking for someone with the 10th anniversary wheels to make the spoke clearance measurement for me. Or if the wheels are on the cat, the measurement from the face of the rotor to the spoke. That is all I need. I dont want to order the wheels without being positive they will fit.

Find whoever you plan to buy it from and ask thier customer service people to measure it for you.

I was hoping someone with the wheels installed would be able to measure. An impartial party. The dealers ask what am I trying to do...I explain and they state it wont work... but we don't have the spoke clearance measurement. I will try to get them to unbox a wheel and measure it for me.

I could not get anyone to measure them for me. I got a set and they Do fit. Wheels and Silver R calipers look hotter than 2 rats screwing in a wool sock. Now for fender clearance.

yea my 13 in rotors in the rear barely clear my cobra r wheels. but it looks sweet!
