Probably a decent amount. I mean ive never seen 18x10 03 cobra wheels before. So i dont know how much to tell you to sell them for. But if you need tires that fit, just go with 285's as the bare minimum.

yeah just trying to decide between selling my older cobras and getting tires for the 03's or selling the 03's and getting tires for the old ones and maybe start looking at painting the car...

Sell the old ones and buy tires for the new ones.

sumitomos (sp) suck dude. Worse Tire Ever. Its like they were made out of some kind of toy car rubber. Seriously. You might as well just put your stock rims back on then ride a set of those things. Really, they suck. (I know, I have them on my car... and they suck haha)

But they will get the OP by and will allow him to keep his nice wheels. I think he should do it. They will last a decent amount and he just has to drive like a sane person. It will make people think he has a beast of a car though...spinning all the time. lol

We love da fat meats!!! lol i feel that 285/295's arent wide enough to protect the wheel incase of me being dumb...which happens from time to time as does with all of us. And plus they just look SO much better with fatties on the back

The tires im getting ready to buy are 335/30-18's and they are $270 from online tire plus $20 shipping per tire and then $20 mount and balance per tire. So $620 mounted and balanced for both tires plus tax. Mhm...but SOOOOOOOOO worth it!!! Good tires and they are FAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!! But yea, i know how it feels to not have money for tires. Thats how i was til i came home from school, worked my tail off for a month, did nothing at all but go to work and go home and eat at home. Then i bought my wheels, and now im doing the same thing to get the new rear tires. So once thats done, i can start blowing money again
