you dont want those dude!! Those are the V6 rims. They would be good to put on during the winter for storage but you can pick up bullets off the GT's for a dime these days. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't wear those shoes on my feet!!

The issue with putting these wheels on your car is several

They are 5 lug and you only have 4, so they won't mount up. You would need a 5 lug conversion in order to run them, so probably not worth it. I would recommend you do some shopping for wheels you like meant to fit your year.

The wheels are 4x4.5" and off-set would depend on the width you want to run. You will be maxed out at 9" wide and would have the best selection with 7" or 8" wide wheels.

i found a set off a 97 gt the same as what this guy (projectresto83) has on his that i might pick up instead.

and yes i know about the conversion to 5 lug, nothing some ranger axels and new spindles wont fix.

The conversion is the way to go, but am not up on exactly how much off-set change you get. Somewhere around 1/2", IIRC and enough to clear the OEM SN95 wheels.

True, but if you want Cobras - save the conversion and just buy 4 lugs.

4 lugs don't look right IMHO with those wheels (or 17/18")
