What would it take to put Cobra R's on a 4th Gen? I know it's blashpemous, but they are so sexy. I have a chance to get some and am considering snagging them and selling my WS-6 wheels.

Mustangs and Fbodies have different bolt patterns, are you getting a set from someone with a Mustang or are they the the fbody versions?
If the fbody ones, they'll bolt right up
if they're off a Mustang, even if you converted your hubs and axles to 5x4.5 bolt pattern, the offsets are much lower, meaning they'll stick out past the fenders. Add the thickness of an adapter, and they'll stick out even further

See if you can find some used SSR Intregals, they don't make them anymore but IMO they look better and were available in 17 x9 and 18 x 9 with the correct bolt pattern and offset for are cars, I know because I have a set of the 18 x 9s I bought new from the tire rack back in 2000.

I just got a set of 17" chrome "Cobra R's" on a wrecked 97 WS6 convertible I bought for parts. Not sure who made them, but they are our lug pattern and offset looks right. They are missing center caps and the chrome is peeling. I'm thinking of blasting and painting them.
