Cobra Rs???

Will cobra r wheels fit a 3rd gen with the right spacers, or will they have to be adapters. Cause if i remember right third gens are 5 x 4.75 or 5 x 120.65 right? isnt mustangs like 5 x 4.5 or something?

Re: Cobra Rs???

I have 20 inch mustang bullit wheels on my car, i needed 1 inch spacer adapters in front and 1.5 inch in back. There alot of wheels with 4.5 patterns that would look awesome on our cars that dont come in 4.75.

Re: Cobra Rs???

I can tell you now they arent photo shopped . Jagged edge must b from camera. 20x10 in back 20x 8.5 front with nitto 255-35 and 285-30 tires .They came from Replicawheels.com. I got my spacers from a guy in california. The wheels are very real , you can even touch em .(lol)
