Wheels and Brake kit....

Along with the Exhaust in my previous post, I want to put 18x9 Y2K Cobra R (chrome) wheels on my Probe. I have a 4.5" 5-lug patter so they should fit, what do you guys think?

Also since I have the same bolt patter as the Cobra and the Mustang do you think if I got a Cobra Brake kit, it would fit and work well?

i definatly know that the rims will fit! as far as a brake system im not to sure it will be as easy as u think! There are other factors then just a bolt pattern on determining a brake swap!

Well I really just want the calipers. But I need to find out if those will at least fit.

Yeah, I could probably get them pretty cheap there, and if they don't fit I could always sell them on Ebay. That's a great idea! Thanks Romeo.

those rims probably wont fit due to A) too wide. B) wrong offset. and i am not sure but i thought probes had 5x4.25" bolt pattern
