Will a 275/35/18 fit in the front on 96 Cobra?

[Seppi088]

The rims are 03 Cobra replicas 18" x 9" (+26mm, 6.11" backspace). I was just wondering if they will rub in the front on a 96 cobra. I have heard that 275 is to wide on the front of the pre-99 Mustangs. Is this true?

Any one running this size in their sn-95 stang?

Really depends on the back space, But I am running AFS Billit wheels this size in my 96 GT...So you should have no problems...I have no rubbing.

I have 265/35/18s on 2000 R wheels on the front of mine and no rubbing yet. 275's shouldn't cause much of a problem.

Thank you. I think I am going to go ahead and buy this set of 03 18" wheels.

do you plan on dropping it? I have the saleen knockoffs with 265 35 18's, and is a perfect fit. they have only rubbed a couple of times, but never while cornering or anything. When I dropped it with the h&r's the factory tires rubbed, surprisingly with a little trimming (with the stock wheels still on it) no rubbing. where the washer fluid resevior protrudes into the inner fender. good luck
