A little too much for my taste, but, man, talk about looking mean under there... :bowdown:

Thats crazy. Does look mean as hell. I can't wait to get them for my car. Intimadation.

I have the 17x10.5's on the back of my car. 17x8's on the front. I bought them as a package set on EBAY. They come with Kumho MX 245/45 ZR17 in the front and 285/40ZR17 in the rear. The Nitto 315's are small for 315 and these Khumo's are big for their 285 rating. They are only 285 and they look very large. I am moving to 315 nittos when these are done. I have some tire shredding on the fender. I am gonna roll them soon. Sorry I dont have a better picture. I can get one soon if you want.

I don't really like the look of the car in the Corral post--they stick out too far for me. I run 255/40 Nittos front 315/35/17 Nitto DRs rear on 17x9 Cobra Rs. They fit perfect for me, do not rub with the fender rolled, and look sweet. I'd recommend this set-up to anyone. Not sure how they'd fit on a Cobra though. -J

They'd fit the same if the offset was compensated by 3/4" - 93 Cobra axles are 3/4" wider per side.

Aren't 93 Cobra axles the same width as the 94 -98 axles??

 

[venomous]

Yes, essentially the 93 cobra had the same set-up as the 94+....ie rear axle. That is why when people put the 93 cobra wheel on a 93 or earlier fox the wheel sits in closer due to the different backspacing on the cobra wheels...93

Do you guys think a 275/40/17 tire on a 17x9" rim with a 6" backspace will work on the back of my notch?
