Does anyone know if any of the big brake options for our cars will clear the 18x 9 bullitt replica wheels? I know the 2000 Cobra R kit won’t clear. I want/need bigger brakes for the track but I like the looks of the bullitts for the street.

I have 03\04 cobra brakes now.

The problem isn't the diameter it's the depth.

We have found that this cobra brake kit will not fit any of our Bullitt wheels and the 17" FR500 wheels. It will fit the 17x9 and 18x9 Cobra R wheels and the 18" FR500 wheels. All other wheels should be tested with the above method to ensure proper fitment.
