Are those wheels available with the '05 off-set?

I'm not absolutely sure about the offset. It just shows them as 2005. I have an email into them to find out. I'll relay any info I get.

Kind of an interesting read, and if you scroll to the bottom (an actually throughout the article) there are quite a few links to companies manufacturing rims (wheels) that you might like.

Very interesting read!

Thanks! If they are available or will be soon, I would guess there will be quite a lot of interest in them. For one, Me!

Will 16" wheels fit on the 05 or will that be cutting it close?

Everything I've found says the width range for 274/40/17 is 9"-11".
As far as running anything smaller than a 17"dia wheel, everyone I've heard from has said a smaller diameter wheel will not clear the GT brake calipers.

Well all I know is there is a big difference between a drag radial and "Street Slicks" like ET Streets.

If you are buying them strictly for the track get the Street Slicks. I put mine on at home and drive them to the track, they kinda stink bigtime going around corners, but they rock going in a straight line!

I have a couple of friends with '03-'04 Cobra's running 16" wheels with the M/T drag radials and they hook pretty well. A 16" tire will give you more sidewall flex. A GT can get by with 15's on the back.
