Thanks Baker and Mayo!

That's actually a really good price too... those SVE's are starting to grow on me. So I bookmarked the page haha. Only problem I have with those is the sidewall thickness difference. Why would you have 45s in the front but 40s in the back?

I'll definitely be grabbing a staggered set with deep dishes in the rear. That's nonnegotiable haha.

To keep the overall dia the same is why.
The standard cobra setup is 255/45/18 and 285/40/18, and since you already have a drop the 275/40/18 would look fine...but I would stay with the 285 if I could. Some people around here opt for something fatter out back like a 295/45/18 to fill in the wheel gap alittle better

Ah, well you see I had no idea, thanks for the heads up haha. Looks like latemodelresto only offers the stagger set up in 255s and 275s though...

Thanks Alec and Tiger. You guys won't regret it!

I think a staggered set of anthracite FR500s would be perfect

Yep I'm thinking staggered SVE's, staggered FR500s, or maybe even the 2010 black machined GT500 wheels, although it seems like everyone has a set of those... I really don't know yet.
