I hope its okay to post this in this section,

I have a set of Cobra Rs that I purchased, The rim pattern is 5X108mm, the rims previously on this mustang was 5X114, so what year model did the Cobra R wheels come on ?
I did a search on the internet (Google) an found nothing for the 5X108 mustang just the 4X108 wheels. I thought it might be faster to just ask here.
The vehicle I have is a 1994 Mustang Gt Convertible

Also if I use them with adapters will it cause issues ?

Thanks for any help in advance,

Ray/94stanker

If they are 5X108s they are ultra rare SVT Thunderbird wheels. The SVT Thunderbird concept used these wheels. They fit T-Birds, Taurus', and some lincolns. You can usually sell these for a pretty penny to the Taurus world. Ford Taurus Forum : Ford Taurus Owners Car Club Forums or SHOForum.com or www.officialshocal.com

Good Luck!

Now that makes since to me, cause I remember seeing wheels years ago on lincoln's that looked like the cobra r wheels.
Someone just added the cobra caps, and it's the style cap with just a cobra head that is black.
Now the second question, will it hurt torun these rims ? I have no scrubbing, just the front wheels stick out further than I like, much rather them be tucked in tight.
So I may just look a little more into it and sell them.
