Dammit i sure hope not, cause im going with SS's! My strut tower brace covers right where the cc plate would need to be.

Hey Gotti, there is lot of pics on American Muscle.com of cars with different wheel and tire combos.

Bottom line is: Its your car and you can buy and put anything on it you want. None of us are paying for the parts. Do what makes you happy, but dont ask for an opinion because it may not be what you want to hear.

Life Fact #632 Opinions are like ********, everybodys got one, and it stinks

AM doesn't carry that style Cobra R's. I had to get them from a local aftermarket wheel warehouse. They had every style mustang rim in so many different variations.
