Will these fit?
 
American Eagle alloys makes rims identical to the cobra r's. The size is 17x9" with +23mm offset and 5-7/8" backspacing. Do you guys think it will fit on my '85 thats been converted to 5-lug with SN95 stuff?

:D sure they will fit although you might have to roll the fender lip some for clearance and the fronts will rub on tight turns

I was thinking about getting bigger rims/tires, I've heard a bunch of people talk about rolling the fenders... what exactly is rolling the fenders? it is just pulling em out some so the tires fit?

Yeah, basically all that you have to do is "fold" the inner fender lip up. It gives you more clearance for your tires and is realitively easy to do. Here is a site that shows the most famous, baseball bat method. (I know its an Acura Integra, but it shows how to do it.) Also, some people use a heat gun to heat it up so it rolls easier, Just make sure you take your time! You don't wanna go messin it up.;)
