Front wheel size?

[OG-SHOguy]

Hey all,

I read through the archives and did not read anything solid that will help me...I am asking all the guys that are running the 13"Cobra brakes/ coilovers/ Gen 1 .......what wheel size are you running and offset did you end up with to clear the brakes?

I am going to be ordering wheels soon and I want to get them right the first time.

Thanks in advance!

I had to get 17" wheels on my Gen 2 to clear the 13's. At the time, Team Dynamics was the way to go, so that's what I went with.

I had TDs on my old 90 and really loved them...I was thinking on going BBS this time around but I have been out of the loop for so long on aftermarket wheels that im struggling with design and whats good or great. My fronts are pretty straight forward on the size but my rears are very custom so I have to find styles in the rear sizes i want then match the fronts.... just wondering what offests were being used to clear the front brakes on 13" kits...I want to stay with 17" wheels but i think to get the rear sizes i want im going to end up with 18s.

How you going to fit 18's in the rear of a GenI? I had a **** of a time getting 17's to clear and didn't enjoy the fender rolling experiment to do so. Luckily that car had enough rust that I didn't care in the end but rear fitment is an issue

I have re-arched the rear quarters....i can fit any size i want in there now.
