hello all im a newbie so please go easy on me i was reading the threads on hear about tire size and couldnt find anything pertaning to my year any one know if a 315/35/17 will fit the rear of my car i know i can put 275's up front but want to go as big as possible in the rear also want to lower the car slighty i was thinking about the ford racing c springs but i dont know how they compare to the stock cobra srpings only wanna go about what they lowe the car 1.4 inches front 3/4 in the rear also i have about 200 pounds of audio gear in my trunk do i need to account for that and one last question car a keep the stock cobra shocks or do i need to replace them with a lowered shock thanks alot for all your help in advance joshua

 

I know for a fact that you can fit at least 275s on 8 inch rims but any bigger than that I dont know but I sure am interested so consider this a BUMP

 

the most you can fit is 285 on 8's i have 285's on my stock 8's right now they look like slicks cause they stick out so far...i wouldnt suggest puttin a 275 in the front do like 245 or 255 at most it will look wierd any bigger and will rub when you turn... you can fit 315 on a bigger wheel in the rear... if you do spring i suggest changing the shocks you dont have to but its like if you change your rotors why not due the pads too...also with that much drop you should get some cc plates so you dont have bad wear on your new tires you wanna get...even with 200 lbs of audio i would drop the read to an 1 and with the weight it still should be high than the front but not too high

 

i have 10.5 inch rims and i have a freind with 275's allthe way around he has no problem with rubing

 

idk what he did but my friends rubs alittle min rubs alittle and other ppl i know rubs alittle is it a prob no i was just saying that it will prolly run and i just dont think there is a need for 275 upfront imo but its whatever he wants to do

 

unless you wanna take an on or off ramp at 70 mph

 

275 will fit fine in the front.. I will be running those as soon as mine wear out lol.. You might want to get rims to fit better.. my 2 cents..

 

I have 315's on the rear on 10.5 rims. You will scrap on the inside fender if you don't pound out the inner well a little. They look great!!!!!!!!!!

 

That sounds pretty neat. I need some new tires I was wondering if you had a picture of your tires or if you could get me one please.
