+1, I had the 10.5" AFS chrome cobra wheels on my 03 cobra and just had to do the bolt mod and 3/8" hubscentric spacersBennyDaBall said:Gear swap is possible, you just have to remove the halfshafts and lower the diff out of the IRS subframe, then its a pretty much straight forward gear install.
10.5's might be pusing it, there ARE clearance issues as the IRS subframe takes up a substantial ammount of space. Sometimes people run into problems rubbing against the bolts which mount the rear of the subframe to the chassis, they either grind them down or buy low-profile bolts... Still 10.5" is a big wheel, and depending on the backspacing/offset may not work at all (without spacers).
hey Benny, any weight difference between the solid rear and IRS? hows handling?BennyDaBall said:Gear swap is possible, you just have to remove the halfshafts and lower the diff out of the IRS subframe, then its a pretty much straight forward gear install.

Low profile IRS bolts can be had from MM for $10.four.six said:where can i buy this bolt mod and the 3/8" spacers?? and also do you have a pic, cause i wanna make sure that spacer does not make the wheel stick out past the wheel well. if it does stick out past the wheel well, than i will just get the 9" ones. thanks man!

3/8 inch hubcentric spacers (you'll need the extended reach lugnuts too) can be purchased from LPF for $90.

MM doesn't carry 3/8 inch spacers. The 3/8 inch spacer is the perfect thickness for a 10.5 inch wide rim on the IRS.back_in_black said:flush, matches the front, mm has the spacers and extended reach lug nuts as well
