Charcoal Beige Metallic, new pics

[dnsherrill]

I finally got a chance to take some decent photos today...and the pinstripe has been 'ditched'...

 

[My Great 8]

Looks good!! The wheels are on backwards!

 

[dnsherrill]

indeed, compliments of my local Discount Tire, per recent rotation

Sooooo much better without the stripe
Looks great but that wheel hurts the pic.

 

[KStromberg]

Some of these less typical exterior colors I really like and your car is one of them!

 

[dnsherrill]

I've got a line on some parts from a 94, including swapped 5x4.5'' lugged hubs.....so I'll prolly put these rims/tires on my new '96 and start shopping for some 17'' cobra rims/tires for this brown one
something like this maybe, http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/pts/3406571091.htm
or like this even http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/pts/3383052943.html
l i wonder what the offset is

:L

 

[KStromberg]

Maybe its just my phone, but your left rear tire looks odd in ur first pic like there is a chunk missing! Lol

its a shadow kirk, i see what you're talking about.

good eye Kirk, I photo-shopped the concrete color to get rid of an ugly spot by the tire...look close in another pic and you'll see a missing light pole in the sky...art school messed me up!

the main thing I can't NOT see is that pass side exh tip running downhill! :Bang

 

[chris2523]

oh nevermind. i see what you're on about now.

 

[KStromberg]

That's exactly what I noticed after commenting. Photoshop FTL! LOL.

 

[dnsherrill]

now: Cobra rims:
are almost all offsets gonna be tolerable (close to 39) for the Mark VIII? I'll be doing a hub swap soon

 

[chris2523]

39 will probably be too much for a 9 inch wide wheel. it will work for a 7 inch wheel.
personally, i would stay below 36.

 

[UltimateSVT]

Like the pics man! Clean car. Lookin forward to seeing it wearing Cobra wheels!

You sure about that cause i cant run a 275 series tire on my 8" bullitti's i (believe are 36 mm offset)they will rub the quarter at 40 they may clear

 

[dnsherrill]

bottom line: different Cobra R's (Ford and otherwise) are gonna have different offsets; before I drop cash on a set, I need to research what they are

front or rear?

that will work in the rear. i'm not so sure about the front. a few members have reported slight rubbing on the spindle up front with 36mm offset, 9" wheels. keviiin and ultimate svt i believe. you push higher than 36 up front with a 9, you're gonna run out of room.
