Hello. Finally ready to by my rims for the black Mark 8. Hadmind set on the old school Chrome 5 star Cobra R’s, to match up with the hood,front bumper foglights, and FR500 steering wheel theme going on. My cobra mark, lol.
Question here is, do I go for the hub conversion now and getlower priced Real Mustang Cobra R’s at 5X4.5? Or get a set of Cobra R imitationChrome ones made for the mark VIII at 5X4 ¼” spacing.
Both would be 17X9s and 10” rim for the rear two tires.
18s are too big I’m thinking for my liking. I wanted moreside wall tire protection and comfort highwayride sitting on the rim. (worried about city pot holes and bridges I accidentlydon’t slow down for or don’t see the potholes ect, not paying attention. )
So…..I guess im looking at a total cost break down of buyingall the front and rear hub conversion parts and converting over to real Mustanghubs. I’m assuming I’ll be moving up to a 32 spline axle as well from the 28spline factory one too?
I definitely DON’T want the 7” inch knock offs ive seenaround ebay and other websites that fit perfectly. Way too skinny. Also don’t want the 8.5s iveseen advertised as well.
I need something bigger. Currently I’m running 245/50-16sBridgestone Potenzas on the stock snowflake rims. Love the tires, but there waytoo wide for the factory rims and you can tell driving it hard.
Need real 17X9 rims up front and 17X10s in the rear. I’m worried about the big ADDCO sway bars frontand rear for the offset I custom order. So if its cheaper to just custom order a new setof 17X9s in the stock bolt pattern I think I will go that route and get 4 samesize tires all around for it. Can 40’s be ran out in the rear with noissues? I’m not air ride anymore. I’m all spring conversion ride now, so carwon’t be lowering at all.
Any deals you guys find slip me a link for 5 chrome 5 starCobra Rs with the fat chrome edge lips is what im after. Also the widest tires Ican stuff under the rear without hitting the Addco aftermarket swaybars.
I’m doing number crunching on the links you guys postedbefore. I like this one best and usingnow.
