Do you plan on drag racing with these 17x9's? Or are they just for looks? If you are drag racing I would get a smaller diameter rim and skinnies for the front. The sidewalls on 17" tires are stiff, for cornering and such. Then keep your cobras for street duty.
+1
i usually rock 17 inch cobra wheels daily and 15 inch weld draglites when im all bussiness. The smaller diameter rim alowes for a larger sidewall giving it more wrinkle and a better hook.

Why do you need a cage then? Not being a poser I hope...

Those look like 18's to me...but either way I like them. Primetime has the saleens on his GT...I don't know anyone with them on a notch
I believe primetime has 03 Cobras.

My vote is for the saleens.

i should mention i'm sticking with 4 lug
I would not get the saleens if you're staying 4 lug. Something about them just doesn't look right.

a cage isnt just for drag racing, plus my cousin gave me his 351 for christmas and i plan on doing a 393 so even though the cage isnt necessary now it will be with 500+ horsepower

your right, it looks strange, i'll get cobras
