I have seen an '04 Cobra with Saleen 10"s and 1" spacer (looked like 1/2" spacer would have worked). I asked at the time and was told of the bolt issue. Could be that the 18" wheels allow better clearance and makes sense. I don't have IRS on my '02Saleen, butam currently running 10.5" Saleen replicas on rear with 1/2" spacer and 295/30/18"s. I had to install longer studsas a result, but was better fit (safer with extra heavy lug-bolts)and runs wheel out the the edge of fender (but not past!)Will run 315's later this year when my current PS2'stransformation to dust is completedue toHWY 1 twisties . I will have no clearance issues even though running 18" wheels, but do have my fenders rolled due to Griggs GR-40 suspension.

I have seen MANY Cobras over the years running 315's on 10.5"s, but connot say for sure if any had IRS [].But sounds like AZ Snake had the set-up. Maybe you load your pic on Photobucket.com or see my car in tires and wheels section under "HELP, I am losing sleep" thread.
