I have a 96 cobra and I want to run 15" drag wheels front and rear. What do I have to do to make them fit? These are the rims I want to run. Will those back spacing work? I want to run a 275/60/15 dr in the rear and I have no idea for the front.

PLAIN and SIMPLE > they won't fit !!
you have to have 17in rims to clear the COBRA brakes > the only way for you to run those rims you'd have to pull your Cobra brake's off and run normal gt brake's > or use some really big wheel spacer's > which would not allow you to run on the strip as wheel spacer's aren't allowed on the drag strip > and you wouldn't make it past the tech inspection.

What size rims are cobra's running to put little tires up front? I thought they were 15x4".

Just an FYI, I run 16" Eagle Alloys in the rear and they fit with no spacers or anything. I have 26x11.5 Et Streets and they work really well.

The wheels I believe are 16x8.5, or so.

16's will fit in the back.

Up front I *think* you can run 15's if you use a 1" spacer and grind the caliper a little. There are 15" drag rims that do fit, but i also beleive they are $400 each.

back of the car isn't the problem it's the front> ^^^^ like posted up above > I*'ve never heard of 15 inch drag rims for a snake but a fast fle-bay or yahoo search would find them if there out there > 5.0 mustang did a artical on drag striping a snake and they used 17 inch rims with 10.5 on the back>
