The 94-98 is actually the same as a Fox housing, but has longer axles to allow room for the ABS exciter rings. They will fit well with 8" wheels. The 99-04 rear end is 1/12 wider than the 94-98, and the housing itself is wider, so you would have to roll the fenders heavily or run narrow rear wheels.

Standard Cobra R wheels are 24mm offset. -------------------- Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder Posts: 973 | From: Marin | Registered: Sep 2002  |  : RED@7kVERT *8850GT* ¯ Member # 5909 posted                              baggins....wtf.....get it running first.... -------------------- 02 Z06-11.0 @ 132 1.9 60' _ _ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ _ _ Sold:05 CTS-V-13.1@114 Sold:01 Cobra Vert-12.0@119 Posts: 2432 | From: -916- | Registered: Aug 2005  |  : Luke87GT Lay'n more stripes than Caltrans Member # 21 posted                              94-98 will increase the track by 1.5" on a fox body. It looks great with a 17x8 5.72" BS rim. 17x9 Cobra R rims with the common 5.95" BS will rub like hell. The 99-04 rearend will increase your track by 2.5" Don't even think about it. -------------------- Stangless Posts: 7802 | From: San Mateo | Registered: Jul 2000  |  :
