I really need a 17" spare to clear my breaks. Anyone have a cobra spare or know of any other 17" Ford spares?

Ive always thought about using spares as skinnys for the track. Let me know how they work out for you if thats what your using them for.

they must work because driller used them for a long time.

Yep, you can use the 16" Mark VIII aluminum spare wheels with stock brakes or the Cobra 17" aluminum spare wheels with the Cobra brake upgrade.
Maybe not the prettiest wheel at the track, but effective!

Less weight up front, less rotating weight and less unsprung weight.

I found it was just cheeper to have a full size spare
the prices i was seeing for cobra 17" spare was around $100

Yes, I have a 03 Cobra and the spare is in the shed. I can't use it due to its 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. I need 16 inch 4 1/4 bolt pattern.

These are all reasons but i'd like to add "LESS Rolling Resistance" to the list.
