FFR Cobra with a 4-lug bolt pattern???

So the divide between 4 lug and 5 lug would be mods or track use.

i remember back when 4 lugs were current-- if we put significantly larger tires on the rear and bumped the engine up in power we might shear the 4 lugs.

Correct, if you added sticky drag slicks and dropped the hammer at 6,000rpms you could sheer the lug nuts. However, I've only heard about it once, and that was a car putting out a documented 800+ HP to the rear wheels. Most of the time the U joints would snap before the actual wheel studs would break.
