Anyone know if the Ford 2000R Brembo brake kit will fit on aftermarket 17x9 FR500's? I know they barely fit on 17x9 95 Cobra wheels. Anyone running them with FR500s? Im considering this package when I upgrade to 5-lug later this summer.

Here is the kit on Summit. They recommend 18s as thats a sure bet. But Id like to run 17x9s right now...

Im pretty sure they dont fit aftermarket FR500s from what I have read on different forums. I dont know about the genuine ford racing FR500s though.

Aftermarket FR500s are ok as long as they are 18"

Thanks guys. I was worried they may be too small. I saw this kit behind some 17x9 95 Cobra Rs and the fit was very tight.

Its too bad the 18" aftermarket FR500s weigh 31lbs.

A 2000 R kit? Sure it just wasn't regular cobra setup?

Nope, it was definitely the 2000R kit (it was my uncles car).
