Well here they are 17x9 chrome 03 cobras. And thanks Srothfus for the spindles! no problems at all i never knew 5-lug conversions were this easy. All that had to be done was i removed the quad shocks and the tailpipes even fit without any adjustments and they are 275 wide tires.

nice, that back bumper dosent go, I think you need a cobra wing too Love the wheels though, car looks great, oh and you gotta lower it too, maybe thats why the back looks kinda off

Thanks guys, I dont know why the back end is sitting up so high it has bbk lowering springs front and back ... maybe its because theres no spare tire back there and i need new shocks and struts because it still has the stockers. And i've been wanting to get a cobra wing but now funds are just a bit low after the new rims.

You can keep your quad shocks, you just need to flip them over, flipped they will clear 275's. Its nice to have them because you will get absolutly no wheel hop with them in.

with 94-95 spindles you should be able to go wider up front... there have been guys who run 275s on the track with your setup i believe...

Looks sweet! I've got the same rims on mine, 275's all around. Same color too. Are those AFS wheels?
Check my pics in this thread to see what your car would look like with a cobra wing, mine looks near identical to yours, same color and rims.

That entire combo...wheels, color, smoked headlights, smoked clear tails and stance...Awesome. Never been a real fan of smoked anything. That looks killer! A fine example of a well thought out street machine.
