Default OEM 03' cobra rims offset and backspacing?

I need one new rim for my car. I know they are oem cobra rims they have the ford symbol on the inside. They are 17X9 so I just ordered another rim for the car that is 17X9 +26mm offset that is the same as stock correct? It is also 5.95" backspacing, is the the correct backspacing? Jegs doesn't list what their backspacing is and the only other one I have seen is 6.02".

The +26mm/5.95" back-space will be fine, but not sure if it is the same as your existing. A 6.02" back-space is only going to be another 1/8" or so deeper under your car, so you may not even notice the difference anyway.

Pepe the back-side of your other wheels and will probably see something like "26J" or the like. This is usually an off-set number that will help you out. You can also go ***HERE*** to see how to measure the backspace of your other wheels to see how it will compare to the one you want to buy.

Thanks, I'll just go ahead and get it, if the backspacing is off it won't hurt anything which is good to know now. Thanks a ton I appreciate it.
