ok got a lil bit of money. ok i don't have the money for some new rims to put bigger rims on my car but i want some better tires for it to hook up.

what size will fit on the stock 95 gt rim its a 16x7 or 8 if i remember right.

2nd: i need a intake spacer to clear my vavle covers with my trickflow track heat intake what size should i get and still clear my stock hood? 3/8? or 1inch?

3rd: will some 50/50 help out much in the rear?

anyone?

Probably 235-245's for tires, Yokohamas or toyo proxes. Not 100% sure on the last 2 questions.

1--245/50r16's are a little wider than stock. You could go 255's if they're 16x8's.
2--I've got a 1" and it BARELY squeezes under the stock hood w/ my street heat and tall FRPP valve covers. BTW, if you have tall covers, you may have to cut down your throttle linkage a little.
3--Do you still have your quad shocks? If so, lose them and get some quality U/L control arms and your traction will improve greatly. It also depends on the tire. cheapo tire==cheapo traction. An aftermarket suspension setup will only help you, but you need to do it together...springs and shocks/struts, not one or the other.

i already have u/l ca's and subframes. i was hoping that 50/50's would help but i can't find it newhere to work with a 95. so i guess i will have to buy adjustables any recommendations?

what kinda tire would be a good choice i was thinking some bfg's

i think one of the best gripping cheapest tires for the size is the Nitto Drag radials, for my 275/40-17s they're only $145 a tire right now... any sticky tire will give u some good traction, for another cheap tire that ive heard tons of great things about is the Kumho Ecsta MX, great lookin tire and very cheap, and performs amazing.

strange is all i can say....10 way adj. 60 bucks a piece i think...very good....nitto's or bfg's price is about the same.

Nittos wear very quickly (months). BFGs are great tires but i have been using Cooper Zeons (245/50s on a 16x7)and they hookup nicely

OnyxCobra

Nittos have the longest lasting drag radial... for the most part u trade grip for tire wear, softer tires provide better traction...

yep, you're right i got it backwards its the bfgs that wear quick. i've never owned any personally, but my neighbor with the 03 cobra has. it was his experience that i was relating, just got the brands backwards. thanks for correcting me.
