Y2k Cobra R offset too wide for front

I have 245s on 8.5" wheels and they are just fine. However, on a 9" wheel I think they are going to be too narrow.

They'll look stretched like the dorks that used to do the "bow-legged" look on mini-trucks and such and run too-small tires on wire wheels in the early 90s.

I have the 2000 Cobra R's on my GT with 275/35/18 Nittos on them and I know what you're talking about. They do stick out a little up front, maybe half an inch.

I was a little unhappy when I first saw this on the stock suspension, but I think that it will look fine after I lower it and make some adjustments to the alignment. My H&R Supersports will go on the car as soon as I finish picking up a few other suspension pieces. I only want to deal with a single install.

I'm not about to sell these wheels off...I begged/argued enough to be able to buy them in the first place and I'm not about to lose money on them by selling them used.

I have Cobra R Motorsports 18X9 all around. No problems here.

that is because your wheels are 9 and not 9.5

I think some poeple are missing that fact. they would not stick out if they were 9 inches.

9.5 inch is optimum for 275

I have 275s on 17x9 cobra wheels and that sticks out in the front to me and I hate it. It looks a bit odd, maybe if I could get the rear to not be so tucked in it wouldnt be odd. I wonder if the 96-98 cars make it look like it sticks out more due to the fender. From the side/angled view from the back it looks perfect but when looking from the front you can tell it sticks a bit.
