Default question on wheels

hey guys, i just got my car painted andthe cobras i have on my car just arent working for me... ive been looking into getting some bullit wheels like these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-9-...0923QQtcZphoto) and either finding them in a silver likethe silver on my car, or getting my painter to paint them the silver on my car, i havent found any silvers that match mine very well though. what im wondering is, i know ill have to do a 5-lug conversion to put these on, but will i need anything special to fit these (spacers, etc.)? and is there any way i can get that 17x10.5 fit, or will i have to get a different size on the back (i want the deep dish in the back)?

I think they might fit, but tire fitament will be a challenge. I would still stay with the 275/40s in the rear. No spacers needed. What do you think you'll do with your cobras that you have now?

i think this is asked as much as the what gears? question. The 10.5'swill fit but you need half inch spacers and a big hammer, obviously roll the fenders as much as you can, which would be a bad idea it looks like new paint. Also your quads have to go and your tailpipes might rub, mine did with only 275's

88ragtop i believe runs DD bullets in the back, i was gonna do it but decided it wast worth it

I just bought the cobra version of those wheels, 17x9 all the way around. Im in the process of doing a 5 lug conversion and painting my car black. I think the bullet's would look real nice on your car, espicialy with the chrome lip
