Most likely, no. At least not without a bunch of spacers and even then you probably won't fit within the stock fenders. What year?

Yep, it's very possible, even without grinding...

a Weld Prostar 15x3.5" with 1 7/8" backspace will fit with a 1" H&R spacer...

I fit 15x4" with 1 3/4" backspace Centerline Telstars on my car with the same spacer and no grinding...

Consider me humbled, I didn't think they would ever fit on any year Cobra without a bunch of mods

Yup they will fit.
The rear is a little tricky if you dont have a 8" wheel. My Pro Stars are 10" and I had to grind the rear caliper a tad and throw on a small spacer.

Fronts are just what Missouri Guy says.

I assume you still had to grind the stock wheel studs with the 1" thick H&R spacer, since all I have found from them is the bolt-on type which doesn't completely cover the stock stud. Do you knock out the spacer studs and slip over 3.5" studs in the hub? If not, do you or anyone else have a link or contact to find a 1" thick hub-centric or lug-centric spacer (NHRA legal), slip-on type without studs?

Any help would be appreciated!
