Here's 15" pro stars on my old cobra, think I ran a 1.25" spacer iirc.

I see you have been bitten by the bug again eh? lol

I use 1" spacers and 15" Prostars on my Bullitt. You have to grind the tapered part at the end of the wheel studs off or they stick out past the spacer. My rears are 5.5" backspace 15x10 Prostar knock offs, needed to grind the flex line to caliper bolt a bit for them to fit. Have had 5.5" backspace 15x10 weld draglights on the rear too, had to grind the calipers for those to fit. Here is a pic straight on the front with the skinnies on it, they don't stick out bad at all.

R1 isn't as fast unless its from a roll.

I like the looks of Weld RT-S on a Cobra especially the black/chrome....but they're not cheap $$$.
