if you can't answer with something that's worth reading, please don't.
check the bolt pattern. i think the offset is pretty different though.
it would be tough to get em under the wheel well.

Ford Probe wheels are 5 lug 5:114.3mm.
Mustang Cobra R's come as 4 x 4 1/4", and 5 x 4 1/2"
114.3mm / 25.4 = tada 4 1/2".
In other words, the bolt patterns are the same; however, the Probe is FWD so the hub the front wheel mounts onto will generally be a lot larger than a RWD car. That may require some boring on the wheel itself. I am not sure about your backspacing, you'd need to measure that yourself. The stock Probe wheel width on the GT is 7" I'm pretty sure. Remove your wheel, place it face down and put a flat object across the inside of the rim. Then take a tape measure and measure the distance from the back of the hub to the flat object. The distance will be your backspace. If your backspace is 4.5" or so, you're in good shape. If it's less than 4.5, I'd say the chances of you gettin them on is very slim. You may not be able to use them if they're too wide as well.
The 17x8 imitation Cobra R wheels would be your only chance if it's possible. They have a 4.95" backspace.

Actually, the Frobe may be a Ford. But where do you come up with a mazda? If anything it is a Mitsubishi. The GT's have Mistubishi engines in them. Or DSM.

You can put any wheel on your Probe that you would put on a eclipse, talon, 3000gt, or stealth. they are all 5 x 114.3

A quick little history lesson.
Ford thought about replacing the rear wheel drive Mustang with a front wheel drive Japanese designed car. One idea was to work with Mazda to create a similar platform that could be shared by both companies. The public quickly informed Ford that there was a demand for a rear wheel drive all American performance car. Ford quickly changed tack and gave their front wheel drive car the "Probe" badge. The probe was introduced in 89, and Mazda's version is know as the "MX6." That's also why Rangers are simuar to Mazda trucks. They all share platforms and many other parts.

The only thing Mitsubishi on a Probe is the distributor. The engine in all but the 1st gen. V6 are Mazda.
Ford owns Mazda.

Well except for that Viper guy, but then again, he thought the Probe engine was DSM...
Somewhat of a credibility killer huh?

Screw you stupid ass... until you can show me time slibs to prove your "STOCK" 89 turbo GT ran the 1/4 in 12.9. You are a fucking moron! Oh my car is stock but I have a 100 shot of Nitrous and boost controller. Yeah and your car weighed 2200 pounds to right?? Never would it.

WTF? I threw them away, I didnt think it was that big of a deal. Why do you fucking care if I got a car to run 12.9? BIG FREAKING DEAL. Get off the subject.
YOU dont like people coming in these forums? Who are you to say that? You've been in these forums what like, a week? And I have yet to hear something intellegent come out of your posts. I may not have been here that long, but at least people respect me on these forums because they know I know what I'm talking about.

Alright Alright, end of conversation. I am not getting kicked off the board just for arguing. Truths?? Alright? We are not here to argue. If you do have a 12 sec probe. That is fine. No more smart remarks out of you, and no more out of me. Deal?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT....
we have a 'regular' in here acting like a newb. :loser: we have flaming going on. :screwy: and if you really ran a 12.9 you would have saved the slip b/c in those cars the fastest i've heard is mid 13s on probe talk where i was a memeber for a while buy it went downhill b/c of the intense flaming going on anyone with a diferent opinion is harassed and ridiculed
:rolleyes: and if you do run 12.9 don't argue just go to the track this weekend and get the slip....
btw the best rims for the probe that fit are the rx7 wheels b/c they are the lightest that you can pick up for a reasonable price weighing in at 13.7 lbs

I'm not acting like a newbie, you are, and don't call me a loser. You dont know me or what I'm capible of. Your bringing back 3 month old treads to make fun of me. If you can read, you will see that I didnt start the flaming, I posted something about something and I got flamed. All I did was stick up for myself.
I can't just "go to the track and get the slip" I moved away and sold the car to a co-worker, he got the car and killed the tranny. Besides, I really dont feel I need to prove myself to some idiot that likes to start fights over the internet. Get a life.
