Wheels & Tires to compliment my springs
I'm working on my Christmas List, and since I'm putting some Ford Racing C-Springs down, does anyone know what size wheels&tires I should get to compliment them? AS well, what can I fit under there now? I've currently got some P205/65R15s on, and the wheels look like stock ****e themselves. Any helps, as well as pictures, would be lovely. Thanks much!

i just left the tire places cause i just bought some mach 1's 18x9....and the tire place said 245's and 255's will work fine, but 265 are pushing it in the front. The back you can as big as you want, but you cant rotate them then. But are you getting 17 or 18 in rims?

I do enjoy the look of the Cobra-R. Alot. And I was thinking 17x9 and 17x10, actually. 245s or 255s you say? Would the be any difference really with 245 in front and a wider in the rear? And about how much would I be looking at?

I have 17x9in Cobras in the front and 17x10.5in Cobras in the back. I agree with gt96stang, they fill the wheel wells nicely. The only downside to them is that its added weight to the car. I noticed a big difference between my stock wheels and my Cobras. The looks of the Cobras make me forget about the added weight though.

you can go as big as 265 up front without rubbing and with 275 it BARELEY rubs only when the wheel is at full **** to the right. I have 275's all around and have no problem at all. no damage to anything at all. up to like 325 out back. the stagger looks good but u cant rotate and it will eat tires. 17 will be the best look and performance combined but 18 will look nice but have expensive tires.
