yea stock is 17x9.. ide stick witht hat up front with some 245s.. then get the reps out back with 17x10.5 and 315s... as i want... but if u do that.. u probably will need spacers for the back wheels though..not too big.. but once u go to put um on, u could see for urself what size spacer.. 1/4 or 3/4s inch should do it(although i could be wrong) .. but yea ide say go for it man...

why do I need spacers for 17x10.5' wheels and 315's? BTW I have 1.5" spacers on the back right now and they are perfect for a 17x9" wheel. Fills the gap perfectly.

because i know on at least mine... the tires will rub on shock/something else on the inside of the fender... i could be wrong.. but since ur a cobra too... my tires are about 1/4th inch to less then that away from everything inside my fender well... so 315s might rub, im not quite sure cuz the larger rim also pushed the tires out past the fender.. but i think ive even been told that ide need small spacers...

ude have to see when u went to put them on man... but ide say go for it...

no mine are all 17x9.. no spacers anywhere 245 up front 275 out back.... they dont rub but the back is damned close.. and if they were 315s i belive i was told they would run and i would prob need a small spacer.. sorry for the misunderstanding i actually had 315s guys... but i dunno, ide say buy um and if not whats the worst, buy 1/4th spacers? big deal for what ur gettin.... so go for it man.. get chrome...

wierd... back spacing should not have to be different... maybe on a GT but on my cobra im fine... nothing had to be changed... just got the rims, and slapped on the tires and off we went... once the place mounted up correctly the 2nd time lol... in the pics there on wrong lol... but fixed now...

also when u get them mounted, get ur wheel weights(balancers) put on the inside so it doesnt show and make the wheels look cleaner... theyl prob ask u.. but just lettin u know...

aight im off to sleep.. ill check back tomorrow

i mean if they said so, im guessing they know more about whats going on lol... so, u should be fine man, dont worry about it
