Thread: 17" cobra wheels on a GXP

I just bought some SVT wheels and hoping they will look ok, will I need spacers? I know the offset I believe is +28 here is a google pic I found of them on a grand prix

They are gunmetal color, does any one have pics of these kind of wheels on their cars?

you won't need anything special to put them on the car, but they may rub. especially because mustangs use bigger tires than a grand prix does.

they have 275's, I have 275's on my car now. I think I will have enough clearance. Thanks!

their tires are taller.

They will rub with 275's, your stock wheels offset is alot different than the mustang rims.

I need pics i just sold some svt rims

Will 1.25" adapters help? i was looking at adapters that go from 115 to 114.3 with 1.25" width

That will make the rims stick out even more, like way more.

Figure if a stock gp rim that is 16 or 17in has an offset of 50-52, and you put on a set of saleens that have an offset of +36, they will now stick out 14-16mm further than stock rims.

I think the stock gxp wheel is -35 offset IIRC and they are 18's

Looks like the internet says a +40 offset for GXP rims.

You're right! so do you think ill be good at a 28 offset and not rub?

How wide are they? A +28 offset will look good but may rub in the fenders. You'll probably have to roll them.

you don't need spacers or adapters to put those wheels on.

9" wide I do have SSC lowering springs too 2.5 drop

No they're not. Mustang tires are 1" shorter than GP's.

It'll rub with 275's.

I bet $1 of that.

I bet they'd rub on 275's too, since people complain about rubbing with 245's.

Tires probably look too short because they are probably 245/45/17, which are 1" shorter than GP tires.

here is the other cobra rims on a gxp. I think it looks good, but would lover it to lessen the wheel gap because they are smaller then stock http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/4306755116.html
