17x9 mustang cobra R rims were a perfect fit on my fc rx7. even stock 98 mustang rims fit fine.

ok swapping tires on the 10" rim tomorrow .. then "should" have a good idea for the backspace.. think I am goin with 7" .. maybe have to do a little trimming on the uni body on the inside.. not a big deal though from what I can see.. have to get my butt goin with this !! this is the 5.5" backspace.. still a lot of room to go in
