I know they recommend 18's, but will any 17" wheels work with or without spacers or other mods?

Maybe Steedas?

Maybe 2000 17" Cobra Rs? I know real Cobra Rs weren't 17.

It's for the '88. I figured the 4.6L guys would know better than the 5.0 guys.

So 98 cobra wheels will work? Are you 100% sure? Those were the wheels i wanted to run.

How about 17x9 aftermarket bullitts (choice #2)??

I don't think 17" bullitts will work with that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

as long as you have 50mm of outward clearance to clear the brembo caliper but most 17X9 should clear that have the 50mm and more needed but you should double check none the less

the 98 cobra wheels will work. i am running Konig Villians. Steeda Ultralights will work. 03 cobras will work. bullitts will NOT work.

if you look at all the wheels what work, there is a bulge around where the calipers is(except for the 03 cobra wheels). that bulge gives the clearance for the larger Brembo caliper. the only thing that scares me about my setup is there is about 1/2" cleanrance between the wheel and the caliper.
