I used the 555 on the street, NT01 open tracking, but haven't used the NT05 yet, as the car is down.

What width tires you can get a way with and what are safe and the widest recommended is a different story. Anything over 255 is not recommended for 8 inch wheels. Most people with stock wheels have taken care of the rear gap issue with 1" spacers (like I did) And here is a tire size calculator that might help.----------------- http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator

Sure some 275's have a wider contact patch than others and the sidewall might getting some stretching, the discontinued ET Street I's fit fine on my 17X8 with no bulge plus being light years ahead of a nitto 555 for grip..

thx for all the pics really helpful. man i wish i could run 315's. they look perfect, guess my next move is to trade mine for 17x9 wheels. i have yet to have the perfect stance i want with minimal wheel gap.

I ran 17x9/17x10.5 on my 01 with no issues. I was lowered 1.5-1.75". I did have to roll the fenders because of some rubbing on big bumps. No major surgery though.

You're right. The 04 Cobra has 17 x 9, and yours has 17 x 8. Sorry for the confusion. You should be able to fit 17 x 9 with no problem. Then again, you lowered it, so best measure before you buy. Now, on a different subject, slightly, how do I upload the pics I took? I tried the camera and gallery icons before, but no
go.

The OP wants to stay with his 8x17s, ---not recommended to run over 255 on 8" rims.
Use 1" wheel spacer to fill gap at the rear instead of oversize tires

Oh, Forgot to tell you. I run the 35 ratio on the back with the 315s. I think the front are 40 ratio. That's why they fit better.

NT05 is one of the good performance, just like Proxes Toyo tires. I like how appropriately stiff the sidewall and very quiet on street.

The tires I mentioned are Nittos.

I have ran a 275/40 in the rear. Both the 555R and NTO5R. The 275 does bulge a bit but I didn't do any spirited driving.
