will 305/45/R18 nitto nt05r's fit a 97 cobra?

My 315/35/17s fit just fine and I still have quad shocks installed. Your 305s will fit.

ok, cool. thanks man

NOoooooo way will those fit without a sawzall !!!

stangbanger has 17s in a 35 series that is only 25.68" tall (stock height) but the 305 45 18s
you are dreaming about are 28.80" tall.

you're not even close to fitting... well unless...

Yeah no way, those tires are for a ford lightning.

The 45s will be too tall and might throw off your ABS sensor. Plus, you better have some 4.30s or 4.56s for them...here are 305/45/18s

I would maybe go with 305/40/18s if you want a taller sidewall

I was thinking the size he posted was a typo.

I have the same setup using deep dish bullet wheel and my tire rubs from time to time when one side of the car is higher than other, did you use a spacer to combat this?

305 35 18 is the size you want, 45 is way too tall as others have mentioned.

No spacers but I'm not sure on back spacing. The tire is close but after 500+ miles of street and track duty I haven't noticed any rubbing. I do plan on ditching the quad shocks when I get new arms and Strange shocks intalled in the spring/summer.
