Get small wheel spacers from a speed shop, I think they are 7/16 and yes ur rears should be fine

THey should just bolt up. Are concerned with rubbing while turning? pre 90 stang came with a 2.5 locking ration. When they started putting pony wheels on 90 and up stangs they had to limit the turning of the rack so they added clips. Then the turning ration went to 2.25. I had problems with my stang (17x9 in front) would rub on the control arm. So I added 2 steering rack limiters on each side of the rack inner tie rod shaft. Then my wheels stopped rubbing. The only down fall uturn are harder to make now. But don't have any choice but to do it. because if you have keep riding with wide wheels you will have to replace the rack because the seals get busted from the turning of the wider wheels. This part from ford N804842-S (about 15 for 4) will take care of your rubbing problems. You need 2 on each side. Then you can even put 20x8 cobras and it will not even rub when fully turning.

The rears will be fine, the fronts...different story. You would need to run at least a 3/4" wheel spacer to make them look right. The offset of the OEM 93 Cobras is severe, but if you care about the visual aspect...go for it.
