I sold a set of after market wheels to porche guy they where real nice wheels set up for BMW's and Mustangs. The porche guy had a tool and die - fabricator install the wheels. Just a suggestion. Might cost some dough.

Well I can help a bit.....

The Lincoln rotors will not work. The 98/99/00/01 all have different spacing and so you will need a SN95 front conversion.

I do have a friend that has 00 Cobra Rims on his car. He had to machine the rotor and the rim to make them fit on the Lincoln rotors. And after that the dust cap still sticks out from the rim.

I would get the SN95 conversion or you will be very upset with the look of your new rims.

For the rear, get a set of 5 lug motorsport axles and drums. They sell the complete kit for $300 I think.

Good luck!

Ian

I put '94 Cobra wheels on my '89, which I believe are the same dimensions as the '98. I used rear rotors from a '96 GT, and the front rotors from the Motorsport 5-lug kit. All I had to do was roll the rear fender lips a bit. I've never had any rubbing problems, and I am using Eibach springs that lowered it about 1-1/2". If you have access to SN95 front pieces, than I say go with them. They will give you much better front suspension geometry than you stock parts. Good Luck.
