iam going to be doing a sn95 5lug swap and lookin for some wheels and came across some cobra R's.. here are the specs on them.. There are two different size wheels. For the front are the 17" x 8" (+20mm with 5.24" backspacing) and for the rear the brand new 17" x 10.5"! The rear wheels are +27mm offset with 6.63-inch backspacing. They are 5-lug (5 on 4 ½).

is this possible?

What do you have for a suspension? This is going to determine if you can or not

I run 17x12 with hoosiers front and rear on my 93 cobra race car. It has Maier Racing flared fenders though. Check out www.maierracing.com. I spent about $1100 on the fenders - front and rear.
