Well just like you heard it. Pretty self explanatory. I just bought this 87 GT stang and sold my 90 GT but I kept the 95 Cobra R style wheels. I wanted to know if those would fit and if they do, would they Rub? any pics will be welcomed too.

As long as they have the right offset they will. Here is my 88 with 17X9 with 5.95 backspacing on front and rear.

Damn!!! Nice Ride. Have to say that I am envious. Your ride is exactly like I want mine. Except that I want the cobra front end and wing. Man gotta share your stats. I got some from the website, but got to know the full deal.

You guys don't have rubbing issues with the front fenders? On my 90 lx, i have 15" welds and a stock size front tire and when I turn the wheels they tend to rub at full lock.
