I have 95 Cobra R's in 17x10.5. I think a 10" wide tire is the minimum for 335's.

I just looked on ebay and they are selling a set of 4 cobra r's 17x10.5 for $595. Is this a decent price? Do you know of any place that buys stock rims? I don't want to have to list on ebay.

I got mine from AFS wheels on Ebay. That's a good price, I am just not sure the 10.5's will work on the front.

10.5's on the front will look weird, and not cool

I definitely wouldn't need 10.5's in the front. That's the problem. On ebay I only saw a set of 4. Have you seen a set of 2 on ebay? I saw the ones from AFS.

Yeah, I bout my 10.5 rears on Ebay from AFS seperately. Then I bought a pair of 17x9. I paid $310.00 for the rears and like $400.00 for the fronts. Oh yeah, btw they were in chrome.

And they fit on your 01 GT without having to do anything else?

Yup, no problems. My car is lowered 1.5" and they never rub.

I need new tires in the spring anyway so I figure I might as well try to get new rims and sell the old ones.

Yeah I need new tires on the rear as well. I can't decide whether to go with 335's or back to 315's with BFG DR's.
