The solution is to run Cobra front rotors, available at an auto parts store. And it's a perfect excuse to swap in an '87-'88 Tbird Turbo Coupe 8.8 rear end, which is near identical to the Cobra except with 3:55 or 3:73 gears, and uses the same axles and brakes. Now the wheels fit properly, and you have 4 wheel disc brakes. Run a '93 Cobra booster and master cylinder with Lincoln MK VII front calipers, and you'll have full factory '93 Cobra braking and pedal feel too.

I dont want to spend that kind of cash on a daily driver and I am going to put the stock pony wheels back on when I sell it.
