These are ebay replicas of the 03-04 cobra rims. Anyone have these? What kind of quality and did they fit properly? What size tires do you suggest for front and larger/wide as possible for the rear? I have already massaged the inner fenders as far as they will go, so I have plenty of space on the inner fenders. Thanks.

Other than the backspacing, it is exactly the same as the real Cobra rim. They should fit without any rubbing issues. Although I believe 245/45/17 is as wide as you can go upfront without a problem.

I put these on my 89. They fit great, but I went with the 97 front spindles (8mm wider than 94-95) The only problem I have found is the passenger side touches the lower a-arm when the wheels are at full lock right. No big deal though. Im going to go with tubeular a-arms anyway. But look for a better deal that that one! I got mine for $360 shipped to my door!! And for the tires, front was 245/45/ 17 and rear was 275/50?/17. Also I went with sumitomo tires from tire rack.com the tires were only $360 shipped for all four!
O- and for the rear fenders, I slamed mine with adjustable lower control arms and the tires clear everything fine, except the quad shocks. I just took them off. Hope this helps!

DeVus1, is there enough difference in the backspacing that they will stick out or in noticeablly different than the stock cobra rims?

I have them in black. 245/45/17 up front and I have occasional minor rubbing with SN95 spindles. I would probably go with a 235 next time. I also hit the lower A arm at full lock when turning left on the drivers side.

In the back I have 315/35/17 Nitto DRs I don't think you'd fit any wider than a 275 though in any other tire. Quad were removed and the inner fenders clearanced. Have no problems with the outer fender. I did roll them, but probably didn't need to. Had more issues with the inners than the outers.

See the post below, they shouldnt noticeably stick out.

Mine fit great. 265/35/18 rear and 255/35/18 front, 26mm offset. Thats about the price that I paid for my polished 18's. So if you want the machined 17's they should be available much cheaper.

quick question.
Let me see if I have this correct. A wheel with 6.02 backspacing will set further in the fender than say a 6.11 backspacing. Just using real cobra rims and replicas for example.
