The 500 wheel would be a good looking wheel if it had some dish to it. The rim is so shallow it makes it look awful.

Probably gonna need to flip the quads and/or roll the fender lips on the rear to fit 275's, but otherwise, they should fit.

wheels

hello,

I' have recieved the cobra 03 4-lug from the states. They look great with a 245/24/17 tire. But at the front they a little bit wide. When a drive and take a ditch the tire hit the fender.

I have a 18mm offset al arrond !!!! and have order them from mustang-unl.

Is this normal or have a buy the wrong wheels

greets

Fropm holland
