Carl, he lives right in Winston. I met em a few times and we went to a car show in Kernersville a while back. Great guy and beautiful car.

Btw, I'll be glad to take those old Cobra Rs off your hands ;)

Nice :D BTW what are the size/offset on those? They look to fit the front fine and not stick out past the fender.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think they make the car stand out alot more than the old cobra's, especially with the car color
Dominator- i want to drop it in the front about 1.5" (no a good spring to do this with?)
when on level ground the rear don't sit to bad

kingcars- you got pm'd

Thunderjet- the fronts are 17x8's with 15mm offset 245/45's, rears are 17x9's with 20mm offset 275/40's. The fronts still stick out a little but that will be fixed this summer with some stang arms new bushings and springs
Thanks again guy's

sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but will your back wheels fit on the front? or how much space do you have with your 17x8's between the strut and wheel/tire?

Never tried the back wheels on the front, the 17 x 8's are about a 1/4 to 3/8's from the strut with 245/45's. I used to have stock 17 x 9 cobra's on the front and they cleared BARELY !!, 1/8 inch maybe
