Does anyone have any pictures of a SN95 with cobra front brakes and Bullitt rims?

Since my car is Laser Red, I have always thought chrome wheels would look cool.

I don't think the 17" Bullitt's will clear the Cobra calipers, but maybe the 18's?

Any pics would be a big help. Thanks!

99-01 Cobra brakes are the same as Bullitt brakes.

basically any 17inch wheel combo will clear the cobras. 16 and under will not clear.

I currently have some used Cobra R's I got off a car traded at the dealership I work at. They a little rough looking, and I was thinking about maybe upgrading.

I just wasn't sure if the Bullitt's, with a more curved in spoke, would hit unlike the Cobra's, which have a more vertical spoke.

Good to hear man, cause I have cobra brakes yet to install and I plan on running the tri-bars forever! They are my favorite factory wheel on the GT of any year, and I want to maintain the sleeper look!

^ Correct, if you're referring to the Y2K Cobra R Brembos. Those require an 18" wheel to clear.

i think the 17" 03 cobras actually clear too but i dunno about any other 17"

its the extra width of the brembo caliper that causes the problems
