Default Anyone know if 04 Cobra rims will fit on a 2005 Gt? Pictures?

I found a set of 04 cobra rims. Just wondering if they would fit on my 2005 GT. I have no idea what the spacing is or anything, so not sure if they would stick out or in or anything. Any info would be great? Also, if anyone has pictures of this set-up that would be great!! Thanks, Jord

I dont think they would fit, but do more research on lug patterns. The only reason I doubt it fitting properly is because a friend of mine had a 04 Mach 1 (sold it for an 04 cobra), and he tried letting another guy use his 17's with drag radials. This other guy had an 06 GT and they didnt fit...

they fit, but look like azz due to incorrect BS/offset

99-04 26mm offset
05-09 45-50mm offset.
The older SN95 rims will stick out on a newer S197.
They will put a little more wear on the front end suspension
parts and bearings from the rims being that much farther out.
And your paint will not like you from all the rock chips and such.

They stick out quite a bit and the rim was dangerously close to the caliper on these particular rims (american racing TT2's)

look like azz? i disagree
they do bolt on, but they stick out a little farther. Personally I like it, as long as you don't go crazy on tire width (i run 305's on 9" rim)

As the others mentioned they will bolt up but stick out. Here's our car running some 315 hoosiers on an 03 Cobra 17x10.5 replica.
