Recently, I found some nice 18in mags for a great price.Unfortunately,I am not sure about the offset.

Here is the info: size;18x9j Lugs;5x114 Offset;35

The offset sounds OK - that comes to 5.88" backspacing, which is very close to the backspacing of the 9" Cobra R aftermarket wheels (I believe the ones I had before were 5.92" backspace).

I just put 18x9.5 Cobra R's all the way around on my '98 GT. 255/40's in the front and 285/40's in the rear. I've had no problem in a '98. However, I kinda wish I would have chosen 35's for the sidewall height.
