from an 04 cobra, and shock towers are not what hit, you actually have to change how the IRS mounts to the unibody of the car, this involves cutting off the rear mounting point, after building a jig to make sure you dont change its position, then taking Lbrackets bolt them to the body, and clearancing where needed to get them to lay on there strait.... Then building brackets, braces, and plates to make up the difference..

it hits ebrake cables first, then it hits inner fender, then it hits the IRS brackets,, never touched the shock towers to get them to bolt up with clearance.

damn man, you must have hit the lottery with the amount of money you've been dumping into your car. Love the wheels BTW, what size tire are you getting?

this is the reason i want to see pictures of yours, because you mention shock towers but shock towers are far from in the way... My shock towers are completely untouched, and would be one of the last things i needed to worry about.....

I was just going by what the shop told me. I told you, I personally didn't do it, so I was just going on the way they had explained it to me. I'll have to take it appart and figure out what they actually did. I'll take pictures when I do.

^ I'd say a 365 would fit pretty nicely, but VERY curious how OP will get ANY tire on that wheel to clear the fender.
Jazzer... wishin' you success
