I have looked everywhere and had no luck finding a cobra r that is 20x10

I would look around and see if you could get those widened. Those rims look great. I cant find them anywhere I would love to have those on my car in 18x8.5 and 18x10.

I really wish I could, but the cobra r's don't go any wider than a 20x8.5 Trust me, if I could go with a wider version of the rims I have, I would! That's what makes this decision so hard for me....I really like the rims I have, but want something wider out back.

There are companies that will widen rims.. If you're REALLY married to the Cobra R's, you might want to consider it.

what hes saying is you can have the wheels u already have widened....they cut them in the middle and add a couple inches by welding in some more metal

What it sounds like to me is you haven't even made up your own mind yet, and are looking for us to do it for you.
Good luck with that, it usually doesn't work out so well. It's your car, do what YOU want to it, and don't worry about the opinions of a bunch of forum members thatyou'll never meet.

If you want really like something and no one makes it, then you make it yourself.

I'll end up doing something regardless of what others say...for me, it's just nice to see the inputs of others to give me an idea of what to expect...if that makes any sense what-so-ever.
Thanks again!!

I have 255/35 and 285/30 on my Toxics. I am NOT happy with the fitment at stock ride height, the rear wheelwell gap is much too much. I'm thinking about switching to a 305/35 DR strictly for APPEARANCE purposes, the car NEVER sees rain.

I think for me a 305/35 would actually be to much.
