Default pics with 255/40 tires

Anyone got pics of a car with 255/40 size tires? I'm looking to get a set mounted on 95 Cobra's.

What size are the rims you'r going to get? You might want to pick up wheel spacers while you'r buying. My 17 Cobra R's rub on hard turns.

My back rims are 9" and the fronts are 8". I think the 255/40 tire is too narrow for a 9" rim...8" is perfect. I would put 275/40 in the rear and 255/45 (if you can get that size.)in the front. also a 255/40 is a little shorter than OE, if you want the same tire height, get the sizes I mentioned(26" tall)
