2001 Wheels on my Fox body, will it work?

88COBRA · 07-07-2001, 09:46 PM

I really like the look of the 2001 wheels. They have a nice dark powdercoat that would look great with my black car. Also I have never seen one, so it would be unique.

Now, I will get the rear drum kit from Ford, and for the front I will go with some Lincoln rotors.

Now my question is, I know there is a problem with some wheels and the Lincoln rotors. Will the 2001 GT wheels fit? Will the center cap fit?

If you have a picture of a fox body with these wheels, please post

I am not sure exactly what year these cobra R 17x9 wheels are on my 1990 but I think they are pretty recent. Take a look. I hope it helps? They rub quite a bit and my turning radius sucks. They look very cool though. Its a trade off! http://members.mustangworks.com/jpumpkinn/

Out back - you'll be fine with the 5-lug drum kit from Ford. Up front, you'll need SN95 spindles or the center cap won't fit. I too am looking into doing a 5-lug swap and using the 2001 wheels.
