My 92 vert is stock as far as suspension and springs. I have a chance to get some 20in cobras at a real good price. If I do will I need mods and fender rolling to get them on my car? Anyone have experience with 20in cobras and a fox?

Recomend Reselling them for a higher price...

20" is huge for a Fox.

But I would think they would fit. Might have some issues in the front when turning.

aside from selling them, is there a remedy if the front wheels do rub?

I am gettin them at a real good price....And they dont look that bad, They are on a notch right now and look kinda tight. Is it a situation where they effect speed or is it just a preference thing??

Buy them and try em out, if they rub you could always sell them (for a lil profit) and buy something different.

You will need to cut A bit of the front inside bumper to get them to fit, A friend of mine Had them on his GT and it looked horible, Was lifted way too high and seemed like the front was higher than the rear. Get some 18s.

5 lug cobra's have the lug pattern aligned to each of the 5 spokes.

4-lug cobra's have an offset pattern and that makes the spokes wider, looks out of place, looks like crap imo. makes the spokes look short and stubby.

you obviously dont care about details like that though. otherwise you would also be embarrased to roll around with 20 inch rims and stock mustang brakes and drums behind them as well.

I didnt think they made replicas bigger than 18, thats gonna look ghetto-fab "big pimpin" on your fox to put it nicely.

I stand corrected...I didnt really believe it until I saw this mustang, it looks horriable on this stang and it will look even worse a fox. I wouldnt go bigger than 17s because IMO the tires are too of a low profile.



not cobra R's but whatever gross

but its your stang do whatever you want. I'm not trying to force my opinions on you.

No, you need your freakin head examined. The least you could have done was not put this worthless thread in the Tech section.

The guy who did it over the summer was a total waste of cum on his fathers part. He thought he was so badass on another forum saying he was the only guy in Canada with 20's on a fox.
Get 18's but not 20's man. Fox with dubs =
