'94/'95 TIRES

[ProKiller]

03 cobra wheel pic whoring huh? I got 275s in the back with (i think) 1" wheel spacer. 255 in the front rub on HARD barely moving turns. soon to have 17x10.5 in the back

it also depends on tire brand, some tires run wider then others

Yup because my tires are 275 in the back and they look alot smaller then the one ProKiller just posted!

Maybe because he has spacers?

I guess, i'm not to familiar with spacers.

Its a big chunk of metal that "spaces" the wheel from the axle, filling in the wheel well better. He has 1" spacers, so his wheels and tires stick out about an inch more than yours.

my backspacing is different than 03 cobra wheels... I DID rub a hair on my 2000 gt with genuine 03 cobra wheels and yoko 275's... as for the 285's up front on the cobra, I have no pictures of the lettering but I can post shots of the car..

i have 275's up front with no rubbing issues at all. The rears are 315's and they do rub occassionally but i havent done any inner fender massaging yet...that'll come when i have to put my new rear tires on.

i had 275s on the front of my car when i got it, and it rubbed like crazy. It also makes you swerve all over the road, but than again i have really bad roads here. I wouldnt put 275s in front unless u have nice roads where you live. Just my opinion.....

Word, looks like a case per case scenario.

275's came standard on the 2003 and 2004 Cobras, so do they have serious issues with steering?


I'm definitely going with the 03 Cobra wheels, but my plan is currently to go with 275's on all fours with spacers on the rear (either the slip on 1/2 inch or the bolt-on 1 inch spacers from MM).

Can anyone with 03 Cobra wheels confirm whether or not there is a deep gap between the lug holes? If so, then using a 1" spacer won't require modified or new lugs.

I wish I could confirm but the car is stored away from my current house, we still have over 2 foots of snow on the ground here

I run a Falken RT-615 all the way around 275/40/17

heres some pics on a webshots album. They look fine up front and there is minor inner fender liner rubbing. But the liner is almost completely rubbed away in that spot so it'll stop rubbing soon enough.

yep

Well when i had 275s on the front of mine it was with 95 cobra Rs... i havent had 275s on the front since i had my 03 cobras on. I might give it a shot with 275s on the front with these, but i will not get kuhmos (sp?) again. Totally against what i put a few posts up, im seriously debating putting 275s all the way around so i can rotate them....
