I have a '01 Black Cobra with Eibach 1.5 drop with Tokicos. My question is, I want to buy FR500 Matte Black Wheels 18x10(rear) & 18x99(front) with Nitto Tires. I currently have early SN95 Roush wheels 18x10 & 18x9, if anyone want's to purchase. :)

What size tire would I need to fill the wheel gap nicely?

If you guys have any pics of your wheel/tire combo, that would be sweet.

I would definitely choose the 35 ratio tires instead of the 40 ratio tires. At 305 or 315 width in the rear, the difference between the two is relatively significant. Something like a 305/35/18 should fill in the rear very nicely esp with that drop. If you want to fill the gap more, remove some Isos :burnout:

275/35 up front 305/35 rear. Should look perfect and have the slightest little rake to it with the taller tire in rear. Gives it more of a traditional american muscle car look than the thinner 315/30 IMO. Of course, that all depends on the different manufacturers dimensions , as they vary +/- tenths of inches.
