I'm getting my wheels from Vintage Wheel Works. They are a 17" version of the old straight-cut American mags (not the curved spokes) at 5.5 rear and 4.5 front backspace, which is what Unique suggested. Vintage doesn't know anything about Cobras. They build mostly for classic muscle cars so they can't really suggest a tire for one. I looked at the Michilin Pilots but the 335 is more than I want in the rear and they are awfully pricey. If someone with a Unique 427 with 17" wheels is out there, please chime in.
