i seen where they make the 06' cobra wheels in 4-lug, i thought about gettin them for my car, just for a different look... anyone got them or seen them on a fox???
 
I don't believe any 05+ wheels will fit older cars -- so these concept wheels would not only have to be out already, but also with the proper offset/backspacing and bolt pattern for not only the 5-lug cars, but the 4-lug cars too.

Funny this comes up. I was doing research on these wheels yesterday for my daily driver '98 GT.

Here's some conclusions I reached. The wheel is available in a 17x9" with 6.73" back spacing - here. the OEM '94-'04 17x8 wheel has 5.72" of back space. So it has one more inch of width and one more inch of backspace.

It is also available in an 18x9.5" size with 7.22" of back space - here. It is 1.5 inches wider and if you subtract the 1.5" from the back space you get 5.72. Subtract 1.5 from the 9.5" rim width and you get 8"....as in 8" width and 5.72" back space. Again the same width and backspace as the OEM Ford 17" wheel.

Final conclusion, they might fit the Fox body if it has the SN95 brake swap. They'll almost certainly fit the '94-'04 cars. The 18x9.5 will fit rear of the SN-95 with a 1" wheel spacer.
