What tires should I put on 18x9's going on a 99 cobra with plans to drop the car 1.5 inches? Does that affect it at all?

Jazzer The Cat

Anything from a 245~275 is rated to fit per all the manufactuers in which I know, but I think a 265 is a nice fit

The drop is fine with with any of the above sizes, but the 275's seem to rub a bit in many cases, but easily address with a bit of fender rolling.

What profile?

Jazzer The Cat

18"s are typically going to be 35 series up to a 275 and 30 series from 285's and up. I recommend these profiles for good clearance, but some opt for a 40/35 series for a bit softer ride.

so 275 35's would be decent?

Jazzer The Cat

A 275/35 is just fine, but is the minimum approved width for 9" wheel and is very near the same diameter as the OEM tire on your car.

what is max width on a 9" wheel?

Jazzer The Cat

Could have said that better, huh?....

I should have said that a 9" wheel is the minimum width required for a 275/35 and anything wider is not approved by manufacturer of tires.
