wheel offset for EM cobra 1993
I'm looking to purchase a set of wheels for my 1993 EM cobra. Can anybody tell me what width and wheel offset I need to order for the front and back wheels?
I would like to buy the American Racing cobra wheels: http://www.wheelsforless.com/SearchR...rds=VN42771100 I'm looking to go with a 17" set up. Thank you, Patric |
What type suspension does your car have?

Those are the same wheels I have. If you have the Corvette suspension you'd probably be better off with the 17 x 9 1/2. You're gonna need the most backspacing you can get, which is 6 with the 9 1/2. same goes for the fronts, the most you can get, and they will stick out about 1/2 inch. I've got the full polish 15's. I don't think you'll have enough room in back for the 11's without hitting somethin on the inside. If you don't have Corvette suspension....forget what I just said.

I have the vette suspension and I have 10.5" wheels on the rear and 9" front. I went with Compomotive Halibrand style. The rear is 9.0" backspace and the front is 6.5" I believe. The guy at Compomotive was familiar with EM and knew the sizes. Oh yea, they are 17".

Messinger,
Do you have any photos to post that show the wheels? |
I've got 17 x 12 w/8" BS and 335s rear. 17 x 10.5 w/8" BS and 275s front.
Edit: The pic in my gallery does not show the true 8" backspace on the front because I run a spacer for the track to clear the calipers. |
