Man those look nice 8) I'm thinking about getting the AFS 18 X 10.5. I'm guessing that those are AFS right?

 

[DiscountTireDir]

Hey, I want that set up, how can i order, and I was also wondering if he had stock exhaust, because I have Magna Flows and the pipes run alot closer to the wheels than the stock pipes, will this be a problem with the 10.5 rim outback?

I run AFS 17x10.5" '03 replicas with BFG KD 315/35/17 and also have Magnaflow exhaust. There is no clearance issues at all with this set-up on my car.

The BFG KD 315/35/17 are a little wider than the Nittos.

Are those KD's or drag radials. I am confused?

I just can't decide on which to buy .... the nittos or the bfg dr.

I am going to use the afs wheels in the 17x10.5.

I am leaning toward the bfg's but I hesitate at the thought of spacers.

T3 Cobra was asking about my tires, not Z06_2002.

 

[DiscountTireDir]

D'oh!

Dear Lord that looks awesome. :beer:

I love the way a 315 makes the car look more muscular from behind.

How much for the whole package:

17 X 9.5 front with Nitto 275s
17 X 10.5 rear with Nitto 315s

??

Thanks,

Dan

With that set up can I still drop my car with some Eibach Springs without any issues other than speed bumps of course.

:thumbsup: what is the offset or back spacing on the rear wheels you are using. i have got the afs chrome wheels and just doing a trial fit with-out a tire on the rim it does not look like i have room for the 315 tires. i am thinking of going with the 285/40-17 for the rear.

I guess it must be me ,but every time I see a Cobra with 315s, the back wheels look smaller or shorter than the fronts. I mean every picture.......and I know that they are not, but from the side they look that way.

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing!!

I don't know about the other pic's but I know he said he had 40's in the front and 35's in the back the back has less tire side wall so thats why i think.

 

[ADR]

I think i will go with the stock size in Chrome all the way around.
I like everything matching thats just me. Keep my stock tires until they go bald, and then maybe go 275 40's up front and 285 40's in the back that way from the side it will still match up, that car looks mean as hell from the back though.

Anyone in need of a quote please email or call me. Its the fastest way.

03 Blue...there isnt much room! When you install the wheel & tire...you want to jack the car up by the axle center section, or anything else you feel safe with so that it lifts the car and compresses the suspension. If you lift it by the frame with the suspension sagging the tire will run in to that bolt in the IRS everyone is swapping out. You should have a +27 offset on your 10.5 wheels regardless of whos replica it is.
