foxbody guys with 14" cobra brakes....
I am about to install the 14" cobra terminator front brakes, what wheels are using?
I have 17x8 & 17x10.5 bullets but I am not sure I care for the bullets on foxs, wish I could use the good old draglites

RE: foxbody guys with 14" cobra brakes....
you are gonna have fun putting the 17x10.5's on your car.. its going to take some work in the back to get them to fit.
what Im wondering is.. why didnt you do the 99+ gt brake swap. You keep the 11" front discs, upgrade to an aluminum dual piston caliper.. AND you can still fit a 15" weld on the front

I have the 14in brake upgrade with s197 17x8bullitts and they fit fine. With that brake kit you have to run 17s to clear the caliper. The Bullitts just clear it.
I think those wheels look nice on lightly modded cars as they have a factory look

03/04 Cobra's came with 13" brakes. Only Mustangs that came with 14" brakes are GT500's and the new Shelby GT CA edition. If they are 13" brakes then you will be just fine with the wheels you have. If they are14" then good luck.
