Default another rim question

While looking for rims I noticed with the 17x10.5 it says Will not fit 99+ Cobra IRS or Baer EradiSpeed+1 rear brakes. what does that mean because i thought about doing a brake upgrade and i dont want to buy rims 2 times if you know what i mean.

It means that those brakes are too big to fit behind that wheel. Kinda explains itself dont it?

The backspacing and possibly the offset are different between the two......

The cobras have IRS so the 10.5" will not have enough clearance from the suspension and may rub. Easily fixed though, they have a low pro bolt kit for IRS now so you can fit the 10.5"s.
