New wheels coming tomorrow!

[F8Lbite98]

Updated: pics are posted. not the best pics but you get the idea. maybe ill get a photoshoot sometime soon.

I ordered wheels for my 98 cobra today and I should get them tomorrow sometime. I got black 03 cobra wheels...17x9/10.5 with nitto 255s in the front and 315 nitto dr in the back. I know they arent CCW or True Forged but i like them. Im still in college and paying for it every semester. Maybe after i graduate next year, I can sell my 98 and get an 03/04 cobra and get some nicer wheels. I probably have to roll the rear fenders before i can drive with them but, ill post up some pics once i get them mounted tomorrow.

congrats on the wheels. You won't have to roll the fenders, unless your car is real low.

 

[F8Lbite98]

its lowered on eibach sportlines i think. It was lowered when i bought the car.

Sounds pretty nice! What color of a car are they going on?

Nice... I personally prefer 275's in the front on a 9" rim.

Yea i was thinking that but, I rub right now with 255s in the front

 

[busta]

Wow really? I had H&R Super Sports on my last Mustang (same drop) and I never rubbed... That's odd.

well i got the wheels on and i didnt have to roll the fenders at all in the back but im guessing that because the back wheels are still kinda tucked inside the fender. I was hoping that the wheels would be flush with the fender. maybe ill have to get some spacers. What size spacers would help out with that? Ill post up some pics tomorrow hopefully.

 

[F8Lbite98]

ill be posting pics tonight of the new wheels...I have been sick and swapped with work lately. Any one have any ideas as to what size spacers would help out with the tires in the back?

Where in Nova are you and what color is your 98? I'm wondering if I've seen you since there are virtually no SN95's in the area.

I am by Fairfax.

I'm not sure you'll need a spacer with 315's on a 10.5'' rim. My 295's on a 10'' rim fit almost flush - deep dished though.

He will, I needed one with 315 nittos on the same wheels. Now my 335's sit flush.

 

[SVT-VNM]

Ah that's right. I'm forgetting Nitto's are a bit thinner too.

What tires are you running that they sit flush? Im assuming you are running an 18" wheel?

 

[SVT-VNM]

Yeah 18's. I forgot he was on 17's.

 

[Gallows]

So got any pics yet?
