Default How can I get this look?

I drive a 2007 Mustang GT and love the look of the 99-04 Cobra with them wide tires! But I have yet to see a 05-09 that has wide tires like this. If any of you guys upraded to a wider wheel width,would you mind posting a couple of pics so that I can decide what I want?
Thanks!
This is one of the pictures I was talking about,

Good job, Alec. Before I even saw your response I was thinking of Diabolicol!'s thread.

OP, what's your intent? Are you willing to make modifications as described in the link or are you simply wanting to know the max of what size meat you can put on with the stock suspension?

That really is a deluxe looking rear end.....I can see why the envy.

I need a set of wider rims for the back of my yeller car. That would be a fun look for summertime.

I love that old Cobra look too. I went basic and was very very happy...I went from stock FanBlades to the GT500 Take-offs....285 rear...it isn't quiet what the Cobra is but it does the job for me.

Take a look at the 99-04 offset wheels of some guys 05-09 cars...they stick out a bit further. One car is MikeyGTs I think. Great looking ride.

If you don't want to do any extra modifications, staggering your tires is a good start.

Also if you don't have any go on your car, you'll feel the tire and wheel weight. Depends if you're all show, go or both.

Staggering is when something really unbelievable happened!!
Wide *** tires in the back will do it everytime!

Seriously, it's when you use different sizes tires/rims between front and back.
The only downside of this, is that you can't rotate wheels then...
