what it is the biggest 17" cobra R rim that I can put on. I don't know backspacing and all that so hears what I have.

Front end mustang lower control arms
FFR tubular uppers

Rear end FFR upper and lower
rear coilovers with stockquad shocs

disc' in front and drums in back 8.8
actually not the biggest possible but the ones that won't rub, oh and where to buy them with chrome rims

Cheers Ray

Raddogis,
I have EXACTLY the same set-up as you do. If I had it to do over again I would get 8" front rims as the 9" cobra R rims hit the upper control arms. I run a spacer from Discount Auto but I don't like doing that. Anyway, here goes and correct me if I'm wrong gentlmen: Cobra R's, chrome from PERFORMANACE WHEEL OUTLET. Price for silver wheels around $550.00 or so. The locks, lugs & freight are included in this price. Phone number is 909-825-5242. I purchased mine about a year ago so there might be better prices out there now.
Thanks,

Raddogis,
BTW, I would also go with 10" rims in back and run 295's or 315's. Currently running 275's. FFR recommended that I not use 10" rims but I know people that are.
Thanks,

I have 10" on the back, they look great with 285's. 8" fronts.

Ford Cobra R's 9" will fit fine all the way around. 5.95 fit front and rear with no issues. If you are running a rear disc then you will need the M178's with 6.42" rear spacing.

ROADREBEL,
Are you running Cobra R's in front without hitting the upper control arms? Both my car and 2 of my friends cars hit with 9" rims.
