Wheels-Tires cobra wheels on a 91

Mustang5L5 · Mar 12, 2013

Well, the center cap is aftermarket and I don't believe it would fit a real R wheel.

If they were real, there would be a Ford logo and p/n cast into the backside.

Also real Rs are discontinued, so they tend to be fairly expensive...especially if the are M179 cobra Rs designed For Fox Mustangs (as opposed to the R50/R58 rim)

M179, R50 and R58 are the last digits of the Ford part number designating the three offsets

Ok so heres a picture of the rims i did confirm that they are 17x9 with 275's on them already now the question is is 245 to small i checked tire rack and they say a 245 will fit between a 7-9 inch wide wheel but i feel thats a little stretched

This is for the copper car you are doing ?

While a 245/45 tire will definitely fit on a 9" wide wheel, I've always felt (this is just my opinion) that they're smaller width made them look wierd. IE: not nearly enough tire for the wheel.

As far as the center caps go, I had a set of replica Cobra R's on my '02 GT onto which I installed real center caps. Here's what they're supposed to look like.

How can you tell they are real?

This thread has some good info on that:

toolow91 what did you have in mind these were cheap so if I end up not liking them I'll definitely go something else they did have some fr500s there but I didn't like the black with a machined lip

do fr500 satin with a machined lip would look sick or anthracite
