hi i am posting here because i figure some one in this section will actualy know the answer.

i have a 00 gt and im lookign to buy a extra set of wheels to put some drag radials on. right now i have im mind a good old set fo draglights but i also want ot do the cobra brakes in the future does any one know if 15" wheels will fit over the cobra rear brakes. im not that concerned about the front i can just run 17"s up there.

15" aftermarket wheels (Bogart, Centerline, Wels etc...) will fit over Cobra brakes front and rear. You will need a spacer in the front, anywhere from 1-1.25" and the rear calipers may need some grinding depending on the type of wheel used. On 03-04 Cobras, you may have to grind the tie rod ends some for clearance issues. All depends on the wheel, offset, and backspacing...

mach and cobras have the same brakes.
you will need a good set of after market wheels not just some cheap cast facotry wheels.
