I can't seem to get a straight answer to if these will fit.

OK lets start up front.

17x9 +24mm 5.95" BS

SHould only get rub at full lock. Rack limiters should cure this. May consider runnins stock 17x8 offset.

Out Back

I really want to run 17x9's but i'm afraid it will stick out too far? Anyone running the +24 offset with SN95 track? Did you roll the fenders??

AFS wheels sells a 17x9 bullitt with a +26mm offset , 6.11" of BS. It's a little deeper but only by about 0.16". Do you think this would be enough to compensate??

If this turns out to be too much of a PITA, i'll just run 17x8 bullitts. I really wanted to run the 17x9's because of the slightly larger lip and the higher polished finish you get with aftermarket bullitts.

PS. I am planning on running black bullitts, but am also considering anthracite bullitts, '98 Cobras, 18" Saleen wheels and 03-04 GT premium wheels (the chrome '01 Cobra wheel).

Thanks, but Cobra R's have different offsets than the bullitts.

I would run factory bullitts, but they don't look nearly as good as some versions of the aftermarket with the deep lips and highly polished lips. Wheel COncepts makes a nice version in 17x9 with a deeper lip. I've seen em in person and they make factory bullitts look like crap....and that's from someone who has factory brand new bullitts.

Anyway guys from corral.net say i'd be better off converting to a stock track with North Cobra brackets out back...so i think i'm gonna do that.
