I have a '99 Cobra. I just purchased it. It has 17 x 9 inch wheels all around. The person I bought it from said they were chrome 2001 wheels. I have one wheel that has a broken lip 4 inches long by 1/3 to 3/4 inch . I had the tire taken off the wheel. It has a 17 x 9 marking. It also has a MADE IN CHINA stamp. The question I have is that the original wheels were 17 x 8. I am wanting to get new wheels. I am wondering what is the disadvantage or advantages to a 17 x 9 vs a 17 x 8 wheel. Do I have to be concerned with anything if i choose the 9 inches wheels? I would like to put original 2001 cobra or 2003 - 2004 gt chrome wheels.
Thanks
