What will it take to fit wider tires???
With a stock 99 Cobra, I know you can fit up to 275 I believe, maybe even 285 squeezing. But what would it take to fit 315's in the rear??? Any ideas on cost???

Just make sure you get the right backspacing... even with it the tires *might* stick outta the fenderwells a little... not sure with the IRS setup but they do on the reg axle 8.8 ... mmmm 315's are teh win <looks at my baby 245's...>

What did it cost to get 315's and should I just go 335's? What are you guys running on the front tires?

Depends on which brand. I have Nitto DR's and they ran like $380.00 a pair. On the front I have 275/40/17 BF Goodrich KDW's on a 17x9 wheel.

That aint' too bad, but I need to decide on a rim as well. In order to get 335's, do you need to go bigger than 10.5" rim? Do they make Cobra R's in that size?
