03-04 cobra 18" tire width?and diameter?

[boston george]

so just from experiences guys whats widths and tire diameters on 18 tires with a 305/315, have you guys ran without any issues ,ive seen tires from 12.4-12.7 widths and 25.5-26.7 diameters,i understand that most likely the low profile bolts will have to be used but what size widths and diameters do you guys make your decisions on?:beer::rockon::rockon::rockon::rockon:

i'm running an 18x11 ccw rear rim with a 26.3" tall 315/35/18 toyo tq drag radial. The tire bulge is directly flush with the fender edge, the outside rim lip is set somewhat inside of that. The fenders are rolled. I have no rubbing issues on either side of the tire. For example, I personally think a 315/30/18 tire is too short (25.5ish) for the rear.....my fronts are 25.6" tall 275/35/18 toyo proxy4s on 18x9.5 rims. A 305/35 might work just fine for me out rear, and when these toyos wear out I might consider the 305/35 100 tread rated nitto 555r as a replacement. The toyo tq's are relatively cheap, but with a 0 tread rating the tire longevity is poor (mine will last about 1500 miles total...1 yr of driving for this car)

I just installed a set of nitto 555rII's out back 305/35/18 on a 10.5 rim so far so good. Fronts I am running a 265/35/18 upon advice from guys on here. Some said the 275 front seemed to follow all of the crappy cracks on our Midwest roads....

^ beautiful Cobra.....

Im on 18x10.5 afs cobra replicas with 335 nitto 555r and a 3/8 spacer, fits like a dream. BTW, sick termie.

IMO 265/35/18 in front and 315/30/18 is perfect because it keeps ur 17" lowered ride hight so its slammed and it dosent raise the rear of ur car like a 315/35/18 will, also ur rear tire dosent look way bigger then ur front.

It will fit fine, some guys on here put 315 on the stk 9" rim, that dosent look good IMO but for 10" and up fine.
