viridionplague,

No, you can't fit 16" rims over Cobra brakes. (Your Cobra has 13 inch diameter front rotors. Stock GT and V6 94/95s have 10.8 inch front rotors.)

That's why lots of GT owners stick with the '99 and up dual-piston PBR brakes when upgrading the lousy stock front brakes on a 94/95 GT. They use the same 10.8 inch rotor, but a much better caliper.

If they go with Cobra brakes for the upgrade, and they have stock 16" waffle ponies on their GT, they'll have to buy a set of new wheels to fit over the Cobra brakes.

It might clear the REAR brakes, but not sure.

If that helps....

It will clear the rear brakes and most 15" will fit the rear cobra brakes also.

there you go...clears the rears but not the fronts.

I have a 95 GT and have an opportunity to upgrade to Cobra brakes up front. I have 17" wheels all around. Can I install the Cobra brakes + 13" rotors?

Thanks,
Paul
