Default DEEP DISH RIMS....WILL THEY FIT UP FRONT?

I HAVE A 98 COBRA AND WAS LOOKNIG TO GET A SET OF DEEP DISH COBRA R'S. I AM GOING WITH THE 18X10'S ON THE BACK AND 18X9'S UP FRONT. WHEN I WENT TO PLACE THE ORDER THE GUY SAID THERE WAS A CHANCE THE RIMS UP FRONT MIGHT NOT CLEAR THE CALIPERS. ANYONE RUNNING 18X9 DEEP DISH RIMS UP FRONT ON A 96-98 COBRA OR KNOW IF THEY WILL CLEAR. THE OFFSET IS 24MM. I THINK THEY WILL CLEAR JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

Head over to American Muscle and see if ***THIS*** is what you seek:

The ad says "fits all '94~'04 Mustang models". This is a +24mm off-set, but is standard for this width in the front of your ride. The rear 18"x10" wheels would be fine at +34mm off-set on a '99~04, but should fit fine on your '98.

I run 18" wheels and fit over the 2K "R" Cobra brakes and are larger than the standard Cobra brakes, so I don't see any issue at all.

^ unless he or previous owner has done an IRS swap, he has SRA in his '98

Cool I didn't know if he had it swapped. I'd didn't think he did.
