  • 24mm offset with 5.94" BS?

    i may be picking up a set of 95 cobra r's, 17x8, offset is 24mm and back spacing is 5.94", i was planing to run a 245/45/17.

    what is your guy's opinion on fitment? 100% stock suspension.

    they will stick out. if you're set on these wheels, go with 45 series to keep them from rubbing.

    have you thought about what you're doing with center-caps on the front ?

          I ran those wheels for a while, and Eric is right - they will stick out in the front, if I remember they did stick out past the lip of the fender....I even honed the hub to get 'em over and fit (which you WILL have to do) and like Eric said also, you need to come up with a center cap solution...I never did and just looked at the hub until I went to the SN95 setup...then I had to wrap the backing of the centercap with tape and permatex it in place since I had honed out the center. My advice - go with the SN95 setup, then you can go wild with other options later on (13" cobra brakes, etc.)...its worth it, the wheels look sic on the SVO...go to my profile and check out my 2A
          in SVO withdrawl...

            thanks for the help guys, not sure i want to go sn95 just yet, the car has low miles and not sure how far i want to modify it, i may just keep looking for another set of wheels.
