    Bolt pattern will work, but cobra rims are staggered IIRC, so the back ones would probably be too wide to fit w/o rubbing

    are you referring to real cobra r's or aftermarket ones? either way theyre not staggered. real ones would be 17x8s and aftermarket are usually 17x9

    Well then, the 17x8's should be ok, but the 17x9 will probably have rubbing issues w/o other work and or spacers

    do you run cobra rims that you know this? 17x9 is fine, even with the +24mm offset ones. therefore, you are wrong.

    17x9's with the +24mm will not fit with out rubbing....im rubbing 03 cobra style 17x9s with a +26 mm offset and they rub slightlly.....you may be able to pull it off with a 245 wide tire im rubbing 255's and they are barely and i mean barely scrubbing the fenders...my fenders are rolled they hit up inside the the fender not the edge...
