Will 2003,2004 cobra rims fit on my 1998 MGM? does anyone know whay years fit without having to use spacers? I know the cobras are different from the regular mustang, so any help would be great.

 

I think the Cobra rims have a little more backspacing...which should make them just about perfect for the MGM. Which style wheels you thinking about?

 

Hey brother,





Thanks for the tip. I just was not sure because the cobra rims are a lot wider than the Mustang stock rims.


I was thinking of putting on the 2003 chrome rims on.

 

You will need to be careful with your tire selection.

A stock 03 Cobra rim at 17x9 will be very near flush with the fender lip, which will look absolutely killer!!! If you use the Cobra tires (275/40-ZR17) they should clear, but you''ll need to cycle the suspension to make sure they won''t rub the fender lip when the suspension compresses.

 

To put it into perspective. If you look at my car, your set will be 1 1/4" wider and nearly 2" taller with virtually the same offset.

 

So you guys are saying I can fit 275 40 17 tires on a 9inch cobra rim. On my 2002 mgm?

 

The SUGGESTION was made -- 11 years ago. There's no evidence to show that those tires & rims will actually fit on the car without interference with the body, chassis, or suspension.
1. - The 9-inch wheels with that size tire WILL hit the front Stabilizer Bar on the INSIDE edge of the tire.
2. - A 275 mm tire is 11 inches wide -- too wide for front tires -- poor (dangerous) handling will result.
3. - 11-inch-wide tires WILL aquaplane very easily. Can't drive in the rain. Or the snow.
4. - That wheel and tire combination is EXPENSIVE -- are you SURE you want to spend so much money on something that will NOT improve your Grand Marquis comfort, ride, safety, performance, or economy ??
5. - The 17 x 7-inch Mercury alloy wheels would be your best choice -- they'll fit right and function, too !

The 95 MERC has 15 x 6.5 alloy wheels from a '92 Lincoln Limo, with Mercury Hub Caps. Wheels made in Italy.
