They are black cobra r's in 5x4.25 pattern..

36mm offset

6.40 backspace

275/40/17 tires

Not sure on the width but i'll asume its 8" due to the large tires

I beleive the person had a mark, t-bird or cougar at some point, due to the fact that he lists only those 3 cars for fitment..

were you trying to buy them because i just got a set and thet will fit might have to roll the quarter lip with the bfgs

are these them

Can't help with the offset, but for checking the tire size I use this site: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Looks like the tires will fit just fine, but again - the offset may be an issue. If you have to, shim style wheel spacers may work, I have them on my Cougar to set the Lincoln LS wheels out a bit. It runs 255/50/17 up front, and 255/55/17 on the back.
