Is it just me, or does the 4x4 stance look even worse with these wheels?

Those are the old size of tire. The gap will increase because you are using too small an overall diameter.
The original cobra r rims look really good. The 00 R rims are too skinny. I also agree with a lot of people who've posted...I think this car needs 18's (see 00 Cobra R rims....although they are the wrong overall diameter, they look good in the 18" size).

Conclusion: The old SN95 rims and tires are not suitable for the 05.
The new car finally has different and more common ET values, so you can find heaps of nice rims in the regular aftermarket.

I didn't think the sn-95 wheels would fit... that the lug spacing was different?

Thats what I thought. Do the rub calipers if you do? I was telling a friend of mine who was talking about swapping his old black bullit wheels on his and I told him it wouldn't work.

Guys, after seeing this post, I called gefracing after looking at the web site. I had bought several things from them in the past for my 95gt vert, (Nice honest people with good advice in my past dealings). I spoke with their rep and he said that they tried all the 17x8 rims in their inventory and all of them fit and looked good. the reason the tires put on were 245 45 17 and other size tires is because that is what they had in inventory and that they were already mounted to be sold as packages. he did say that 17 x9 or 18 x 9 pushed out side of the fender just a little bit, but still looked OK.
As the Mach 1 or Mag 500 style is one of my favorites and you can get them at 124 shipped, I am reconsidered my future wheel choice!!
