Glad to hear nothing else was damaged besides the cover.

i happened to be taking a shit and my reading material was an april 07 issue of mm&ff and guess what there was 28x12.5 tires on a 99 up car that goes 10.1 (page 78). tires are on a 10" rim

WOW, So..................It looks like I only broke the girdle. All gearing and shafts look to intact. A new cover should fix it with a brace of course. The only question is weather I should still do a Solid rear. Oh and what year we use is not up for discussion HAHAHAHA.

yes the rear cover is a easy fix and that will help you alot. If you need the bracing I have it at the shop used and sitting there. install the new cover make sure you use Right stuff to seal it

Good luck

Well I just got done with the solid install.

My 98 axle specs are 61 1/8 hub to hub.

My IRS is 61 1/2 hub to hub.

So with that being said the IRS is pretty close to the pre 99 dimensions.

So a 99+ Solid axle in a cobra is going to push your wheels out.

Dan was right on about the dimensions. He told me the pre 98 axle is about the same as an IRS.

Be sure to add the IRS Brace if you stick with the IRS.

wow i think this is funny. Your car runs decent, but not overly impressed. This is the so called fastest 2.2 kb in the nation correct? Anyways I knew my friend back in ct owns a shop and has done 3 swaps for people i know so i figured i'd drop him a line. I think you might want to get yoru facts straight it does fit without rolling fenders and before you say well yea car doesnt run fast enough to have to worry about the tires warping etc car runs on a 76mm turbo and put down 716/778 on a conservative tune

Jeff. The soild rear in my car is from a 2000 mustang so it is the wider one. The pre 99s are about .75" narrower on each side.
You can run a 28" tall tire on both style rears. I ran a 28x10.5x15 slick on 15x10 wheels on my car. Like you said the only way it will rub is if it is lowered to much. There is plenty of clearance everywhere else.
