Default New Wheels

Im looking to get some aftermarket wheels for my 1969 mustang coupe but I have a few questions. Would these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-x-...=p4506.c0.m245
work with an ssbc brake kit? and what would the maximum rotor size be? and with wheel spacers these would fit, correct? and last but not least would it look good? or original cobra wheels (by original i mean oem)? my suspension does look slightly lower than stock. thanks! and there is this guys 70 coupe that the wheels look awesome on : flordracing.com

You'll need hub spacers to get proper offset.

Hub spacers are the same thing as wheel spacers right? and there wouldn't be any problems with the brakes or anything? like 13" rotors...

Let me rephrase. With cobra 17" wheels (or cobra style wheels) would I have any problems running an SSBC brake kit with 13" rotors? Also, I know I would need wheel spacers. Besides that, would I run into any issues?
