2003 COBRA RIMS ON MY 2003 MARAUDER

[LFERRARA]

Hello Everyone I am new to this site and never have posted a thread until now, I don't even know if I am doing it right lol... I have the chance to put 2003 cobra rims on my car, the front dimensions are 17x9 and the rear are 17x10.5. does anyone know if these will fit on my car? Thanks in advance for any advice:)

No they wont

Thank you for your quick response. What is it about them that they don't fit?

Bolt pattern is the same but the offset is way off. The wheel will stick out past the fenders. 9" wheel is too wide for the front and 10.5" on the rear would require a spacer.

2005-2015 Mustang 18x8 wheels with an offset of +40/44 to +50 will work just fine.

I run a 2010 Mustang GT 18x8 wheels for a winter setup and stock for summer.

9" wheels are too wide for the front??? LOL

BTW ... FoMoCo did/does not have/offer 10½" wide 2003 Cobra rims. They were all 9".

The ones that you're considering are aftermarket.

Yeah depending on the offset, if it's anymore positive than factory the tire will rub most likely.

If you need any suggestions, the GT fan blades fit and look great on these cars.

I run 05-08 gt500 wheels on my marauder with no clearance issues. I also have 14" baer brakes up front. Mine are factory 18x9.5 on all for corners. Never once rubbed.
