97 Black Cobra

I like the black 95 style cobra R wheel. For tires Im thinking Nitto NT555 255/40/17 17x9 on the front. On the rear the Nitto NT 555R 315/35/17 17x10.5. Do you think this would look good or are the rears too wide and will they look awkward compared to the front? This package is looking to be around the $1200 mark. Anyone think that is too high let me know where to go. I looked at SEVERAL different site, most of them on this forum.

Thanks!!

 

I love 10.5"s on rear, and run them myself . I think you could push the fronts wider and fill that well better to be more proportional to rears and go 275/35's. This is a large tire for a 9" rim (I run 275/35/18"s), butwill probably offer the same ride quality as the sidewall hight will be about the same as the 255/40's.

As to cost, I have not shopped these items, but I payed over $1700 for my PS2's alone, so sounds like a good deal to me

As to what I think about your choice......... it is YOUR car and who cares what I think [8D]

(pssssssst I like it!)

 

Thanks for the info jazzer!!! As long as the rear tire doesn't rub on the fender I think Ill go with this!!!

 

I don't see a reason they would rub. Many '94-'98 Cobras with that set up.

You DO Have a solid rear axle, correct? I ask because 10.5"x17" wheels will have some clearance problems on rear IRS. This can be dealt with by spacers or modification/replacement of a bolt, but think you should know that.
