Yes. Please PM me your information.
I am currently investigating the possibility of having these made with a deeper offset for this exact purpose. Unfortunately, even if this can't be made to happen, the available selection of OEM and aftermarket wheels in 17" diameter with 8" or more width and 45mm or greater offset is limited. Stay tuned...Sorry to bump up an old thread, but was curious what you guys thought about fitment. I'm going to be swapping to an IRSsetup on my 1993 Cobra and would love to fit a set of these on the car to keep the same look but have it work with the IRS. Is this even a remote possibility? Any chance of having them made with more offset or anything? I'm hearing you want around a 45 offset to keep everything under the fenders?
Any suggestions?
His new wheels are 8.5" with a 50mm offset if memory serves?Alexandros,
Thanks for the reply. I (and TealCobra) are looking for them to fit more like an OEM fit in the rear (slightly tucked under the lip) when an IRS or wider axle is installed. With the IRS being 1.5" wider per side, a deeper offset is required.
This is Kevin Hamel's car w/ 17"x8" S197 wheels installed (45mm offset).

This is the fit we are looking for. Only way to achieve this with the repro Cobra wheels is to get them produced with a deeper offset (either 45mm or ideally 50mm). Should still be enough clearance to the inside frame rail and mounting bolt.
5 lug 93 cobra wheels were readily available for years. They are still listed on LMRs website but they show out of stock. I dont know if you can buy them any more. I rocked real 93 cobra wheels on my 91coupe for years. I love those wheelsDid you guys ever make a group order?
