93 Cobra rims have 1/2 inch deeper backspacing then Pony's.....however, you shouldn't need to use spacers.

I have the same wheels on my 93GT convertable (same setup as your car) and they are fine.

T-bird rims are 15" and 5 lug. Not to mention the incorrect offset and wrong centercaps. Want me to keep going with this? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Edit: to answer your question...if it is a 90 and older, it would be best to run at least a 1/4" spacer on the front. Reason for this is simple: the turning radius on the 85-90 models is tighter, causing the wheel to rub on the framerail w/o spacers. On the 91 and ups, no need for it. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
