Im planning on getting a set of these wheels for my 99 cobra, But the problem im having is what size tire to run. I see alot of package sets sold with 245/40's in front with 275/40's out back. Does anybody have pics of bigger tires being used? I only wanna spend the $$ once. Thx for your help.
You can check my profile. The max size for an attachments are 78kb, which is tiny. I'm running 18x9, 18x10, 265/35ZR18, and 295/35ZR18. I know on my car I had to add 2 clips on the rack because the 9" rims on front were making contact withthe rear of my control arm under full left or right steering. The extra clips on the rack keeps the wheel from traveling as far left and right. Car Domain link: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2972330
I have Kenny Brown springs which if I remember correctly, was a 1.75" front, 2" rear drop. Might be more. I know it sits pretty low but not slammed by any means. I went with 35's. They are a little lower profile, but finding 315/35's are a PITA, and super expensive! So I went with 295's. I bought Kumho MX tires. They are the best street tires Kumho makes. About $900 for the four. But they are soft, so if your car is a daily driver you may want to go with a different tire. Mine are also white, go try to find a set..... you won't. LOL, I had them custom done.
Americanmuscle will do white Fr500's for you for minimal cost. Not that hard to get, and only around 30 dollars more than the black. It's just impossible to maintain white wheels, thats why they dont advertise them.
You are correct about them being a PITA to upkeep, but mine not a daily driver so it's not too bad. I bought my rims from AM, and as for American Muscle offering white FR500's. I called there customer service and I was told they don't offer white FR500's, they don't do custom orders and they have no intention of offering white FR500's. Are you sure your not thinking of Bullitts? I know you can get white Bullitts.
