Cobra R Wheel - Silver

If yours is the same as my 67, they will bolt right up to the rear but need some serious spacing up front. 1 1/4" clears the balljoint andI needed 1 1/2" to stop the tire from rubbin in right hand turns.. That is obviously too much spacing so I decided against it...

Thanks for the info, my rear end can only get about 4 1/2 at the most BS, I'm guessing those cobra r's have around 5 1/2 BS.

I put mine on my 67 for alittle bit just too see what they looked like but I didnt like it so they went to their original destination, the 98. You can just see them in my sig[8D]
