Hey guy i have 18" fr500 wheels on my 97 cobra now, i want to change them up to a diff kind of wheel but am not sure what offset / backspacing will work on the car? i want to put 18x10 in the rear and 18x9 in the front, what is the offset and backspace that will look the niceest and not rub even with flipping the quad shocks? what are you guys running out thier??? i guess it would be the same with 95 - 98 gt's as well. also was thinking of running 315 tires out back and 275 tires up front.



thnx Paul

front should be: +24 mm. offset 5.85 in. backspace 4.5 in. bolt circle

i would go deepdish in the back
rear dd: +22 mm. offset 6.38 in. backspace 4.5 in. bold circle

that tire size should work. alot of people will recommend a skinnier tire with 18's like 265 in the front and 285 in the rear.
