Hey Guys,

Newbie here, 1st post :) I've been lurking around the last week or so and have a question about cobra r wheel fitment onto SVO's. I searched and didn't even find my answer in the big wheel thread, but here it goes.

If I was to bolt up a set of 94-99 cobra r wheels onto my svo, would they even bolt up? I understand that the center caps wont fit, but If I were not concerned about that would they at least bolt up without upgrading to SN95 stuff? Will they stick out past the fender well? Thanks for your help!

Yep sure did post on turboford :) Thought I'd get some opinions from some more svo owners. I wish I had the money to buy a set of every cobra r wheel to mount up and see which one will work lol. I've read the thread on here 3 times through now, and didn't see anything that would answer my questions. Later,

Bo

My BBK/ Speedware Cobra R's will not work... I went with 94/95 Cobra wheels... they are a bolt on!!

The Cobra R wheel will fit w/ stock suspention but they will stick out past the fender. I have tried the R-58 and the M-179, both will fit the rear but the 179 fits better under the front. I also upgraded my front suspention to sn95 with Bullitt brakes. If you use the Cobra R wheels with stock hubs the center caps will not fit on the wheels. I wanted to put the Cobra R wheels on my SVO and all together it cost me about $2,000. Unless you just have to have them I don't recommend the hassle.:)
