Matching Rim/Tire Size...Need to Know B4 Bidding!

[94GTLaserRC]

Hey guys, with the price of rims and tires, I think Im gonna settle on Cobra R Chromers. (great prices all over)

Currently I have 275's on the back..
My desire is to have the 10.5" rims on back with 315's...However, the 275's currently on there are still good.

The question is could I leave the 275's on the 10.5" rims for now, and upsize to the 315's when I WEAR THEM OUT REALLY QUICKLY ?
Thanks
RC

I run 275's on mine....

hmmm... I was going to say that 275's wouldn't look good, but Anthony's car looks fine with them.

Paul, sorry to disappoint you with the rims...but Those ARE's dont come in 10's and the BUllits are too much $$..

Anthony, where'd you get yours?

Rob, cobra R's are a good looking wheel so there's no problem there... its just that they are very common place. I think your car needs something a little more unique to really set it off. I'm a firm believer in "the wheels make the car".... my car is like a totally new beast with my new wheels, I get a HELL OF A LOT MORE compliments and such on it now with my new wheels.

They will fit.

Thanks guys,
I know what youre saying Paul, but because the wheels dont make the engine turn, it's hard convincing my wife to spend a lot of $$ on them, since I have spent so much over the past 2 years. The thing with the ARE's NOT being wide backs pissed me off
Thanks

Rob, now you know why I waited and saved for years to get my bogarts. I REALLY wanted a 10.5" wheel out back, and my only options were cobra R's, '03 cobra's, bullitt, or ARE TTII's in 17X11. I didn't want any of those. So, my next option was a custom set. I looked at boyd coddington, billet specialties, budnik, forgedline, simmons, kinesis, HRE, and ultimately Bogart. The problem is that all of these wheels normally START at $500/piece and go up from there. HRE and Kinesis run around $900-up/wheel. If anyone hated spending money like that it was me... just think of how many go fast goodies I could have bought if I had went with a set of wheels that cost just a little more than one of mine!!! But, ultimately I knew how much I disliked my old wheels, and I knew that this was a purchased I'd have to live with for a LONG time, so I decided to do it and do it right. That's just something to think about...

Don't bid, I can get you a better deal on Rebels.

 

[Killercanary]

Rebels.... did someone say rebels???


Rob, you know you want these on your car!!!

 

[VibrantRedGT]

Paul he's getting them. You know anybody who wants these then contact me. I can beat anyone's price which includes shipping (shameless plug). In fact any American Racing wheel. Just ordered a bunch of Rebel's.
