More info needed.

93 Cobra or 93 Cobra R?

Real or knock off?

Std 93 Cobra 4-lug 17" wheels have too much offset for a Tbird/Cougar, and will pull the wheels in about 3/4" per side.  Not ideal.

REAL 93 Cobra R wheels are 5-lug, 17" wheels (the same as a 94-95 Mustang 17" wheel option) and won't bolt up without the obvious mods.


In easiest terms. If the wheels will fit a stock Fox Mustang, they will fit a stock TBird/Cougar.

They were on Ebay now gone, I did find out they are 4x4.25(108) 5" BS, 17x8 front 17x9 rear or 17x8 all around, and like you said If it fits a 87-93 Mustang it will fit my 87 Cougar XR7.

So, knock-off 4-lug "Cobra" wheels.
