Trying to get Weld 15x10's on 03 Cobra...

[SonicBlur]

I just have a quick question. I have 15x10.5 Weld Prostars with the 275/50R/15 M/T Drag Radials that I used on my old 96 GT. I have been trying to sell them with no luck. So, since I can't sell them I want to use them on my 03 Cobra but I understand that they don't fit because of the IRS and I have to grind. My question is: What do I have to grind exactly? I really want these to work. Also, I have a H&R 30 mm spacer that I use for my current 17x10.5 03 Cobra rears, can I still use that same spacer or should I get a smaller one? Thanks for ANY help you can give.

Looking at the thread you brought up on Modularfords...especially Dan's diagram...Id say itll work long as it truely is a 4.5" backspacing...would just have to address the tierod

Put them on when you arent busy and see what has to be done

Alright, I just measured them and they are, in fact, 4.5" BS. I'm gonna see if I can get them on tomorrow. I have to use the factory jack just to lift the car because my floor jack won't fit so I'm never in a hurry to get under the car, lol...!

The dude at MSC 3 that busted a halfshaft was running Weld 15x10 and 275/50/15 Mickeys- I think. I don't remember seeing a spacer but I do think he had ground on some stuff down there.

I thought at 15" rim required you to go with GT brakes. Or can you just grind down the stockers?

Y'see, therein lies the problem. I am getting mixed opinions...some say the 15's won't work, while others say they will with minor grinding....and so on. This is why I'm asking this question on every site, and I still can't get a clear-cut definitive answer...

I'am working on this right now ALUMA STAR 15x10 6 BS There are a few things in the way, toe link arm grind it away, big problem is where the brake line attaches to the caliper this has to come down at lest 1/4 in.and the bleeder cut a litttle off, not to big of a deal for me, not totally done yet but they are going on so help me god.

I don't know, after thinking about it...I don't really like the idea of grinding anything on my car. There has GOT to be a better solution. I still have a warranty and everything I've done so far is reversable, if I grind down calipers and God knows what else then my warranty is gone unquestionably. I've got the extended warranty too, 5 years or 75,000 miles...Anyone want to buy some 15x10 Weld Prostars with M/T Drag Radials with one pass on them??
