I just recently bought an authentic set of 4 (5-lug) '03 Cobra's (17x?) with 275 Goodyear Eagle F1's. I have no idea how wide the rim is- i'd like to think it's like 8.5" but I'm pretty sure it's 9".

Is there any conceivable way that I could mount these tires with a 1.5" drop in the front and a 1" drop in the back? (I'm getting a bumpsteer kit and CC plates [i have no idea if that'll make a difference]?

I'm getting H&R Super Sport Springs and I'd like to know if there's any hope at all or if I'm going to have to try to barter with a wheel shop.

Thanks everyone.

I have 17x9's up front and am lowered about an inch, only rubs on a full lock

I never really noticed before, but that drop on yours with those wheels looks kick-***. Those are the '03's, right?

What kind of springs are you using, and what is your tire size?

ya there 03's I run 245-40-17's up front and 275-40-17's out back and I have FMS C springs

Well, you're running a significantly smaller tire up front, you think that'll make any difference? I've got 275's ready to go. I'd rather not trade in my tires to tell you the truth. They've got pretty good tread on them and I'm in love with GY Eagle F1's... and they're so damn expensive.

I have an 89 with 255/45/17's up front at stock height and I rub at 1 1/4 full turn of the wheel and then again as the wheel gets back to the same spot.

how bad is that 9" wide rim with 245's? How far is the rim sticking out? Any way to post a picture?
