Author Topic: Another Backspacing Question 9cobrasnake9 CAFords OG Member # 575 posted                                 Hey all I am ordering wheels for my 96 Cobra. They are gonna be Foose Nitrous in 18x8.5 for the fron and 18x10 for the rear. I am looking to put a 275\40 on the fronts and prob a 295 on the rears. What I need to know is what backspacing and offset do I need for these to look perfect. The car is lowered 1.75 inches btw. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For a reference the 00 R's are 18x 9.5 and have 20mm+ offset and the 03 Cobra's are 26mm+...... Good luck -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  :
