Will they fit???? help!

HI.....i have the stock Turbine Rims on my car right now and the size of the rim is (15x7 in, 4 lug, 4.25" lug pattern).....the TIRES on the car are NOT stock....but they still fit the STOCK rims.....

im looking to buy a set of Silver Cobra R Rims and the size is (16x8 in., 4 lug, 108mm bolt pattern., +15mm offset.)

Would these rims FIRST OFF fit my car.....and secondly....would i need new tires????????? PLEASE RESPOND!

i know the tires wont fit for sure as for the wheels im not sure

Antnydude47 · 02-28-2005, 10:39 PM

o crap is that a 68'??? my dads girlfriend has that car in red....nice ride...

you shouldnt have much trouble tuckin 16's but they might rub. i went from 14/7's to 15/8's and i had rubbage on the left rear tire to the inner fender that eventually robbed me of a perfectly good tire. but i think that mostly b/c the shocks were completely worn out. and the left front rubs on a hard right hand turn. you may have to run a low profile tire but you probably wouldnt be satisfied with the smoothness of the ride.

uh........you've got 15" rims........your getting 16" rims........YES you will need new tires.

I stay away from the 4-lug 16" Cobra R's though, they are ugly as hell. See if you can find a nice set of Pony rims.

Phuck you!! I got a set of those.

They will fit fine with no rubbing issues but yeah you will need new tires.

Antnydude47 · 03-01-2005, 09:46 PM

what if i went with the 17inch cobra rims???? wud they rub against the body of the car after putting new tires ????

gmhatr · 03-01-2005, 10:30 PM

probably in the front they would.

gmhatr · 03-01-2005, 10:31 PM

they didn't go to the bigger wheel well until 90 I believe???

Antnydude47 · 03-01-2005, 10:35 PM

17's will fit on a 88 fine. All they did was make the inner fender larger, inner fenders are EASY to replace with later model stuff, or just take them out. I know 3-4 guys with 79-89 foxes with 17" rims, even on guy with a set of 18's on his 87

For the record, I like the Cobra R's, they are sharp. Almost put them on mine.

If your getting silver rims snag some 98 Cobra rims. They're almost exactly the same as Cobra R, but they're only like $125-149 each.

Antnydude47 · 03-02-2005, 11:11 AM

are they four lug?

nastyn8 · 03-02-2005, 04:01 PM

you can get cobra r's on ebay with tires for like $700

nastyn8 · 03-02-2005, 04:05 PM
