i am in the process of buying a '95 mustang cobra for a track car.

i was wondering what the minimum wheel size is that will fit on this? will i have brake clearance issues with a 16" wheel? the car currently has 17x8s, i believe.

thanks

You could probably go skinnier than 8's but nothing less than 17's because of the front brakes.
