I just got a set of Gunmetal Color Cobra R wheels (95R) 17x9's for my 87 Fox. I already have the 5lug spindles and associated cobra braking hardware stashed in my closet. My question is that these are the +24 offset. Will I run into any problems with these rubbing? or anything. I dont have the fender liners installed so if thats what they rub that wont be a prob. I have already rolled my fenders and if need be I can extend them out enough to clear it. I run 1.5" drop BBK Springs with KYB GR2 struts/shocks. (with all bushings installed if needed to know) please what do you guys think. or those of you with OE cobra R's on your foxes what offset did you get? or should I get. I can still return these if this offset isnt right. or wont work at all. I dont mind getting a little dirty to get things to work.

Thanks fellas
Daniel

What size tires do you plan to run? Also, you can use some rack limiters to prevent wheel rub on the front at full lock.

Ill be using 245/45/17's all around. And using a complete 94 brake job. Using North racecars rear caliper brackets to keep the stock lenght axles. Or would the stock cobra brackets work too with my rolled fenders?.
