[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 6419036, member: 46931"] All done, complete with more pics than you want to see as promised. Before, with the stock 245/45's on the stock rims: [ATTACH=full]835497[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835498[/ATTACH] The stock tire inside the repro rim: [ATTACH=full]835499[/ATTACH] Test fit pics: [ATTACH=full]835500[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835501[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835502[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835503[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835504[/ATTACH] And after, with the stock 245/45's on the repros: [ATTACH=full]835505[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835506[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]835507[/ATTACH] IMO, a huge aesthetic improvement. They still don't come out quite flush with the fender lip, but it's about as close as the fronts are which is good enough for me. Leaves room for some wider tires too. It's worth mentioning that my Cobra still has the stock suspension and stock size exhaust. If it were lowered at all, or had bigger pipes, I would definitely need a panhard. As it is, I don't see how anyone would fit 275's in here. Bottom line is, there are no clearance issues whatsoever. I drove it home over some pretty hairy back roads with no rubbing or noises at all. Thanks to three days of rain I couldn't push it as hard as I'd have liked, but hard enough to be confident in the success of the project. [/QUOTE]
