Re: Aftermarket wheels on Cobra - optical illusion?
The rotors on a GT and a cobra are different, the GT rotors put on a cobra makes it looks like you have camber in, they will also rub a little, now I also had camber plates on the red car so I might not be the right person to talk to, I didn't like it and love the stock rotors that the teal has.

I know the hats on the rotors are different but should the wheels be inside the fender lip or should they be even with the outer part of the fender?

Ok. I manage an oreillys so I will just order the cobra ones and compare them to the ones on the beast. It has wider tires than stock. It has 255/45s on it so I think its being an optical illusion

Post a few pics of the car, and we can tell you what you have on it just by looking at the pics. We're that good.

I just swapped out my front rotors for GT rotors - I have the chrome after-market Cobra rims and they now fit perfectly just inside the front fender. They moved in roughly 3/4 of an inch. I think they look perfect. Swapping out the rotors is a pretty simple job. New GT rotors, bearings and grease to pack the bearings, I put the Cobra rotors in the GT boxes and packed them away if I ever want to return to the stock rims. The backs look perfect as is.103teal wrote:I know the hats on the rotors are different but should the wheels be inside the fender lip or should they be even with the outer part of the fender?
