I decided I want the 03 cobra wheels on my 90GT. And I will be purchasing the ford racing cobra 5 lug conversion for it. What rubbing issues will I have? If i run 245s up front and 275s for the rear. I also plan on lowering the car with springs later. Just have to have these wheels, I know the fenders are also smaller than 91-93s. Will I have minimal rubbing or will I be irritated? Let me know what you guys think. Also will these wheels work with this 5 lug conversion and can I lower it with no problems? Thanks for any help. BTW, machined or chrome wheels on a black GT?
Decided on which wheels but help?

If you use the Ford Racing kit that has the SN95 style front you will be OK. I run the 275 on the back of my car that is lowered 3 inches and they rub like crazy. I believe most people run a 235 on the front. With a 1.5 drop you should be OK with a 275 rear 235 front split.

I don't think that you will have rubbing issues as long as you don't go to low. I have had 275s on the front before and the only time the rubbed was when I had the steering at full lock when going slow. I have 245s on the front now and it doesn't rub bad, but my car sits pretty low. I have Eibach sportlines on the car now. 275s will be fine on the back as long as you don't have the rear of the car loaded with people.

I cannot see how you will need a welder you will be OK with a 1.5 drop. They are the SN95 style so you are good to go. I would watch the 245 front though.
