ITS ALIVE! Glad to see this thread return. I have plans for 315s for summer time! So can we fit 315s on 03-04 cobras?
JK lol....great info!

Yeah, stock exhaust. My ears are f'd up and the drone of the cat back was killing me on trips.^ is it me of those tips look small? love the meats though!
315 Goodyears on 10.5 replica FR500's. Button bolt, no spacers. Slight rub on fender lip, and left side button bolt, but no damage to tires after 3K miles.
From about 1-3 o'clock. I sanded the lip back to the spot welds...about a quarter inch which was past the rubber marks. A little touch up paint on the bare edges, and it's not noticeable. Like I said...slight.Rub on the fender lip with no spacers??? Would that be at the top of the tire?
If your car is lowered (H & R Race), they should fit with no issues at all. Correct?
Can I put 315s on the stock wheels?
Now lets talk about the widest 315s out there: BFG and Goodyear. These 315s are nearly a full inch wider than Nitto 315s. Can you put Goodyear/BFG 315s on stock wheels? Yes. Will it bulge a lot more than the Nittos do? Absolutely. You'll have to make the decision for yourself whether you think this is acceptable. Here are pics of BFG 315s on the stock wheel:
Just wondering, if I go the route of 315 bfgs on the stock wheels out back (I don't mind the tire bulge ), what size spacers would be needed. The 10.5s must have a deeper backspacing than the 9s thus needing a thicker spacer when running the same size tire right? :shrug:
You probably won't need any wheel spacer if you are sticking with the stock wheels. I guess there's a chance that you might have issues with the tire possibly rubbing the IRS bolt when the rear suspension is unloaded...but even that may not be a problem with the stock wheels....if I go the route of 315 bfgs on the stock wheels out back (I don't mind the tire bulge ), what size spacers would be needed.
Only if they are Nitto DR's, I never believed it myself so I ordered some 275's and after seeing how stock looking the 315's were, I took them.
