03 cobra wheels

[burtreynolds]

Will these wheels fit? Id rather have these than the marauder wheels on when I put drag radials on the rear. Is there any way to make them fit if they don't already?

Nope 2005 and newer will fit

[burtreynolds]

Ok, but what is the exact problem? Hubcentric spacing? Backspacing? what?

[Bradley G]

I forget but it is way different.
I do not believe it can be adjusted for with just spacers.

[burtreynolds]

so it is the backspacing?

[Bradley G]

If I knew the specific reason they don't fit, I would have just come out and told you.
But if you have a mind to, knock yourself out!!!
I have two 2008 Cobra wheels 18"X 9.5" I'll sell ya, I have run them on the car so I know they fit.

HAHA I guess you are right. I guess I just need to try mine on the marauder and go from there.

Due to the differences in offset / backspacing, the wheels would stick-out beyond the outer edge of the fender.

Anyone make the replica 03 cobra wheels that would fit? I liked the deep dish rears on the ones I've seen. Fronts are narrower than the rears.
