Default need help with tire size

I recently boght this 1993 lx with 17" cobra r rims..
I don't like the way the wheel looks in the well.
I want to go 18"s or a different tire on the cobras to fill the well more.
Any one have any positive suggestions?
Thanks in advance..
& could any one tell me what year & model these rims are...

Thanks 91lxstang..
So you don't think it's lowered?
It seems as though it is in person & a couple of people also mentioned that it looks lowered..

well back to the subject, what size tires are on it now?? the wheelwell looks pretty full to me. i have an 87GT which does have a little smaller fenderwell, and i got the 245/45/17 on the same rims, and mine sits about the same as yours, so it probably isnt lowered.

And those are repica's since ford never made a 4 lug cobra,and with a 245/45/17 it should fill up the wheel well if the car was lowered.
