Default Trigo FIAs vs Cobra IIs

My CSX came with four Cobra II style Halibrand repros. I'm looking at a set of Trigo FIAs to mount up some track tires. The backspacing appears to be different between the two types. Will the FIAs fit?

Hi I have some Phill Shmidt (PS Engineering) FIA wheels that have like new Goodyear billboards for sale, they had come off an original 427 that a friend had mounted them on. The inside of the wheels have been painted white. Please look in the items I have for sale to view them or message me, thank you.

6 pin
Front 7 1/2 x 15
Rear 9 1/2 x 15

Are you looking for six pin Trigos?
I have both FIA and Cobra II Trigos but mine are five pin. I can measure the backspace but
I don't know if its the same as six pin.

What I'm asking is whether anyone knows if the Trigo FIAs will fit my CSX 4000.

The Trigo FIA 6-pins only come in one configuration, Front, 7 1/2" x 15, 3.350 backspace | Rear, 9 1/2" x 15, 3.525 backspace.

I believe my Cobra IIs measure Front, 7 1/2" x 15, 2.750 backspace | Rear, 9 1/2" x 15, 3.650 backspace.

Is anyone out there running these Trigo FIAs on a CSX4000?

My Kirkham with Wilwood calipers required a 1/4" spacer for the fronts. If you are running the big Shelby or Bear type calipers I think you would need spacers as well. If you need a set I have a set of Trigo 6 pin FIA with spacers (custom made )for the front. $900. plus shipping. I have another pair of fronts if needed. $400. plus shipping. As far as fitting your hub,,,yes....Ron

My car is an early CSX4000 with the old style Girling calipers.

It's the backspacing differences that have me worried.

I've found an unbelievable deal on a set of 6 of the FIAs.

Wanna sell the spacers?





Anyone running a CSX with the Girling calipers and the FIA wheels?
