guys....guys....guys... :nonono: .....1999-2001 Cobra wheels except for the 2000 R were 17x8" wheels. The biggest siggested wheel to fit on a 8" wide wheel would be a 255. Putting a 275 on a 8" wide wheel would be pointless because the contact patch of the tire would be about the same as a 255 so you are blowing money away. The only 275 tire that will really fit on a 8" wide wheel is the Nitto 275s because as stated before the Nittos tend to run smaller than regular. In 2003 the Cobra got a set of 17x9" wheels which are a 9" wide wheel instead of 8" wide. So to answer the original question, yes the 275 will fit. Will you get all of the contact patch on the ground? No. Is it worth getting the 275s over 255s for a 8" wide wheel? No.
yeah but 255's are such an oddball size in a 255/40 that they are more expensive than the mass produced 275 in most cases
