*My dad (who bought the kit) called it MK 1.5 since it was kind of in between I and II transition
I am new to this world, so learning as I go. However, I need new tires and want to upgrade to 17" wheels to give me more options for tires. The car was built from a 89/90 donor Mustang and it has a 4 lug (4 1/4) bolt pattern for the 15" wheels. I know it seems like more options exist for 5 bolt pattern wheels but if I can avoid the extra expense I'd like to see if anyone has found any 17" 4 lug wheels that will work for this Cobra. Initial thoughts are 17x10 rear and 17x9 front (I know FF recommends 10.5 only for Mk 3/4 but it looks like I have room as the current tires are 275/50 so I think I have room.
Any advice on how to be certain on wheel sizing (offset/backspace) and also 17" wheels that work for this 4 lug setup?
Thanks...
