Most tire manufactures list tire sizes for a range of rim widhts as approved by an organization called The Tire and Rim Association. Some of the standards are listed below. 245/40R17 8.0 - 9.5 255/40R17 8.5 - 10.0 265/40R17 9.0 - 10.5 275/40R17 9.0 - 11.0 245/40R18 8.0 -...

What was wrong with the tire wear that made the shop or you think there was an alignment problem in the first place?

I spent $85 putting on simple 13 inch glass packs. The power gain over the stock mufflers felt like a turbo. even the 4:11 gears did not feel like this much power. I have had catless H pipe and 2 chamber flowmasters but with current Bassani catted x pipe with these glass packs the torque and...

check out SVTperformance .com web site 'forums' 99-01 cobras. Numerous bad news items with BBK Steeda seem OK I have the Steeda been through four road events and drag strip a few times so far things are OK. Can't really say saw any great performance change.

ON a 01 cobra with H&R springs 18X10 bullitt rear with 295/35 rear and 18X9 front with 265/35 front no problem.

I got 18" black deep dish bullits from mustang tuning. Had radial and lateral runout checked on special hunter machine with excellent uniformity. To new to tell how finish will last but looks good so far.

9 front 10 rear 18"

H&R street sport springs 1.5", fronts 18X9 265/35R18 rear 18X10 with 295/35R18. No problems with hard bumps, plenty of clearance. Tremendous handling improvement. Wheels from wheel replica excellent uniformity with most 0.007" lateral and radial runout. Only one wheel had one area with...

Check out the Firestone Wide Oval at Tire Rack. Think you will find very positive reviews.

The 275/40R17 will fit on the car, have been running them on the front with stock 8" rims on a 01 Cobra. However, the industry standard says 9 " rim is minimun that should be used with the 275. I have run three road races with no problems either in performance or looks.

Insurance was at least $100 a year more for my coupe because of the weight to horsepower ratio. Really odd because at the time the Vert was $4000 more and not much protection in a roll over. I also wanted to hear the exhaust which was nill in the vert with the top down.

I believe you are right. Will be ordering the deep dish black bullets in a few days. Check out CoolBluePerformance.com. They DO NOT list the cobra for fitment with the 17x10.5. However look at the 18X10 and the cobra is listed. Other sites are mustangtuning.com (there pictures are identical to...

I really liked the sound of the non catted H pipe with Flowmaster 2 chambers (what I was looking for) but had to go with the Bassani catted X due to ''very noticeable"' low end torque improvement (back pressure). The H felt like I was dragging an anchor. Wondering if a catted H would have given...

The 245/45R17 tire has design rim width of 8.00 which most tire manufactures follow based on T&R Standards. The same association provides other acceptable widths which for this tire size also includes a 7.5 and 9.0 rim.

Usually for 18" tires the 285 tires are 285/30R18 which by Tire & Rim Association require at least a 9.5. I do not believe you will run into a problem if you want to use the 9.0 rim. Heck I am running a 275 tire on a 8 rim that the tire should be on a 9.

Usually it is the section width of a tire that determines the rim width that can be used. Assuming the aspect ratio you want is a sport series the 35 to 50 A/R range the 245/45R17 is widest tire that is approved for a 7.5 inch rim. The 275/35R18 is the widest tire that is approved for a 18X9.0 rim.

I have pictures on SVT Talk with 255/50R17 tires on the rear (27.1 inches diam) with 275/40R17 fronts that are 25.7 diam. Car has H&R springs lowered 1.5". See item relating to Stance with rear tall tire.

I have under drive pulleys on mine with no problems cooling. I like the Steeda short throw shifter. I have the 4:10 which are great but 4:30 should be fine. I prefer the Bassani catted X pipe vs Mac uncatted H pipe for low end torque feel even though there in no emission in my state. The H pipe...
