1993 Cobra Registry

After looking at Escogt 85 GT I'm thinking about upgrading my 93 GT with Pony R wheels. My question is in regards to how wide of a wheel I can use in the back without modifying the car (including not having to flip the quad shock). There are three 4 lug options for this wheel 17x8, 17x9, and 17x10. I'd love to go with a 17x10 with 265s in back, but I'm worried they wont fit. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

So pony r's are diffrent in size than just regular ones?

Most replica wheels, including the pony Rs, are available in multiple sizes.

I would go with 17x9's with a 275/40 tire for a great look & no necessary mods.
I had 17x10's in the back of my '81, but had to cut the lips to prevent slicing my 285/40 NITTO's.

Damn, Esco! You've been holding out on us. We've seen your 85 and the SVO, and that '81 is sweet! Any others you've yet to show us?

Thanks Z. I also had a 28K mile '93GT triple black vert:





And a 'True Blue' '86GT vert:

I always loved your '81. You have owned some beauty's.

Thanks Tim!!!! I do miss the '81 for sure...

Escogt was able to have all these cars with Escobars left over Benjamins
