Hey everyone i have a 87 gt and bought some oem 2003 cobra wheels that are 17x9 and i think 26 offset or 24 all around.
The rears fit exactly how i like but the fronts are a little wide .
Ill post pics any one think they know what 5 lug conversion i have ?
Trying to keep these wheels i really like the style i just need to figure out how i can. The front wheels are 275 40 17 i will be changong that out they were jist on there for time being

What spindles are you using? This is important and will affect every aspect of your front geometry from handling to what wheels will fit.

Only other way is Lincoln/ranger/svo rotors. That's basically a rotor with the lugs attached and uses the stock Fox brakes.
