Decided to keep the cobra. So I want to spice it up. 17 or 18 on the true forged Mach 5? Right now I have cobra replicas. 275 40 17. And the rear are 315 35 17.

18s and make sure they'll clear bigger brakes in case you decide to upgrade. The 17" wheels wont clear much when it comes to braking upgrades

I have polished acrylic clear coat. Steve won't make them with that clear anymore, to expensive. Mine are 18x9 and 18x11. I had to roll the rear fenders. Also went with the big brake.

And some 16x9.5's in case I want a more aggressive drag radial and more sidewall.

Thanks guys. I might ask steve if he can do a 16 tire as well. would be bad ass to have both

I was thinking 18x10. I know on 18's its still going to be spin city. what do you guys think about a 305 35 18 in the rear?

I want to get brushed center with polished lip. That looks sexy on metallic silver.

I'm running r888 in 305/35/18 and they fit perfectly. I am willing to sell my 16's. I actually had them posted in the market place under wheels/tire section.

The best luck I've had getting a hold of him is through messenger.

The only thing I can think of is maybe one wheel is cut for bigger brakes and others are not?

I went with the big brake cut also, 18x9 front and 18x10 rears. I'm running 275/35 front and 295/35 rears. I also got the discontinued acrylic clear coat option. The big brake cut option is 1" different wheel lips on the front wheels. I like the flat lips better than the stepped lips.

I believe the wider spoked wheels you are talking about are the Sleepers, not mach 5's.
