I am keeping my 86 and I want to get some new wheels. Looking at 93 Cobra wheels, does anyone have a pic of them on a Tbird?

Stock '93 Cobra wheels will not work, since they have too much backspacing to work on anything but the '93 Cobra. Aftermarket "93 Cobra" wheels made to fit every other Fox Mustang will work on the TBirds though.

Thanks FirstBird for the quick chop I wasn't expecting anyone to do that.
I am looking at aftermarket wheels not original ones. I would really like the Cobra wheels on your car but not sure if I want the added expense of the 5 lug swap.

No problem, those wheels and a nice lowering will give your car an aggressive look in my opinion.

Because those are not originals, but aftermarket. And they do come in 4-lug.
