Also if it matters I have AGX adj struts, and Ground Control coil-overs

I dunno I just emailed and asked the guy. I know the GT wheelsd are 30mm but I don't know about the Cobra R's. They might be different since they are wider also.

I've had Mustang GT wheels outback. But there only 17x8 and these cobra r's are 17x9. I dunno if they have the same offset or not. I'm trying to find that out. I just need some big rubber outback for the track.

A 6" backspace will fit on the rear, It can fit on the front with 2.25" springs, depending on your suspension. I run 16x12s with a 6" backspace on my widebody. Carl

I'm just looking at buying 2 wheels. Just for the rear. So Just 2 17x9's with 315s. I'd really like to be able to fit the 315s with the wheels though. It will be just for the strip .. but i don't want to buy and not fit

I guess I'm asking will the wheels/tires stick out a ton? Will they rub on anything?

I don't really plan on going with wide fenders. They will be put on when I get at the track and taken off before I leave. Would they work or nah?

well they'll protrude past the fender, and when your car squats when you launch it, the wheel well will probably contact the tire, and that would be bad.
