Guys,
I've got 4 piston Cobra R (Brembo) brakes, and I'm looking for new wheels. I want a set of deepdish rims, like the deepdish bullits. I'm wondering if the 17X9's up front will clear the Brembo's? I had some 17X8's and they didn't come close to clearing....

Don't know about deep dish. I have a set of FRPP 17X9 Cobra Rs, and they BARLEY clear. I also have a set of cheap Cobra R replicas in the same size I use to store the car, but they don't fit. The spokes actually rub, so I have to get a set of spaces to put them on.
The calipers are great, and you will notice a large stopping difference, but you have to be careful when buying wheels in the 17X9 size. I know Saleens, Ford Cobra Rs, and Roush fit, but I am not sure of any others. Hopefully someone has experience with Bullits and those calipers. Good luck.
I don't know, my stock bullits JUST BARELY clear the stock bullit brake calipers. Can't even fit my pinky finger between the caliper and the wheel. I would think the deep dish ones wouldn't clear
So it requires a rim with at least +50MM backspacing..?
I'm looking at a set of Deepdish 95 Cobra R's on ebay, 17X9 up front, so I was trying to get an idea if they'd fit up or not. They're replicas, not ford, which is why I'm trying to figure out before I throw down the $$ for them. The Steeda wheels DO fit over the Brembo's, I have a set of Ultralites (and 2000 Cobra R's) but I want some deepdish wheels.
I was surprised the 98 Cobra wheels fit, as I believe they were 17X8?
Thanks guys
Edit: Just noticed the first reply, the guy said the replica Cobra R's rub... I could put thin spacers, but since I plan to run them ontrack, that wouldn't be so great..

I am not saying all replicas rub. I just bought a set of no name cheap wheels to store the car. They were the cheapest I could find at the time. I just was pointing out that my generics rub. As long as you get the correct back spacing as shown, you will be just fine.
