will cobra rims fit?

The new cobras have 17x9 +26 up front and 17x10 +27 offset. I wanted to know if they would fit. I know most people get like a +35 up front and +40 or so in back though. Would be nice if they fit though. With the cobra sign removed, they look half-decent.

Yes but...

The offset is rather radically past specs, and there will be a considerably higher than normal load on the wheel bearings and suspension, and the extra weight will drop off about a second on your 0-60 times.

So with that offset, does it mean they will stick out really far? About the weight, how much do you think they weigh? My stock TII rims weigh like 28lbs a piece right?

weight might not be an issue then, they should be about the same if your current wheels are 28lbs

The wheels will stick out to the inner edge of the fender (which the style is popular these days).
