I was lucky enough to find authentic Ford 17x9 cobra R rims with the 6.42" BS for use with 94-98 axles, which I already had (these 6.42" R's have not been available for years, at least not authentic ones). I bought the R centercaps separately along with 255/40 front tires and 275/40 rear tires. <br /><br />I mounted the tires and immediately detected rubbing on the outer fenders in the rear when hitting bumps on the freeway. I ended up using the Eastwood tool to roll the fenders. Since the fenders were rolled, I said what the hell, and dropped the car another 1/2" all around. <br />So far no rubbing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />The ride height, measured from the ground to the top of the fender arch is:<br />front: 25.25"<br />rear: 25.75"<br /><br />275's look pretty killer from the rear<br />Here are the pics:<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.mustangmotorsport.com/images/cobrar/R1.JPG" alt=" - " /> <br /><br /> <img src="http://www.mustangmotorsport.com/images/cobrar/R12.JPG" alt=" - " /> <br /><br /> <img src="http://www.mustangmotorsport.com/images/cobrar/R9.JPG" alt=" - " /> <br /><br /> <img src="http://www.mustangmotorsport.com/images/cobrar/R10.JPG" alt=" - " /><br /> <br /> <small>[ June 17, 2006, 11:16 PM: Message edited by: Luke87GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SydeWayzSix</b> <br /><small>Member # 2222</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,5,17,22,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> looking sweet bro <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>The Camaro Z-28 Kid</b> <br /><small>Member # 3100</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,5,17,22,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> Nice!
