Not Really I Tried A Few Different wheels i Tried stock And These R'S And It Just Wasnt My Perference.
Swapping wheels of the same offset wont change it. Look at an S197 wheel. You might like the fit better.

I'll be using sn95 wheels so I'm not going to use sn95 A-Arms if I can help it. I'm hoping it will all bolt back together correctly. I'll check it out sometime this week.
Going to pull the Cobra out of the garage today and finish pulling parts off it, that way we can get rid of it and make some room.

Made some good progress. Got the hydro boost installed along with all of the 96 fuel & brake lines. Everything fits pretty well except for the ABS module. Has anyone actually used this?

I used the entire wiring harness from my donor car so that is the fuse box from the 96 Cobra. Honestly I don't know what it controls. lol

Not yet, I'm hoping to get that done next weekend. Got the pedals and most of the wires tied up this past week along with the center console. I can't wait to raise the motor up and drop it in!

So, after a long day, the motor and tranny are in. I figured out that I could use the aftermarket trans mount I bought from late model if, I used a TR3650 tranny which I happened to have. Everything looks good but I didn't have time to try and start it.
