My friend has a 2004 Cobra and he wants to get some wider wheels. I did a search in the FAQ and didn't really see what I was looking for.

Can anyone chime in and just give me the best specs/sizes? I'm thinking 275 in the front is the widest, and something like a 305+ would be nice.

Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

315/35R17

For the rear:

Low Profile IRS Bolts:
(Low Profile IRS Subframe Bolts, pair, 1999-04 Cobra [MMF-1] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader!)

+

17x10.5 Cobra Replica Wheels:
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SVT-...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45f9c38653)

= 315/35R17 Tires.

You'll need the IRS Bolts to fit the wider tire, otherwise your new tire can rub/tear against the standard oem bolt. I believe the need for this bolt is debatable for some people's wheel and tire combo, but I just figured it was worth the $10. You'll need wider wheels to fit 315s (obv), and there are many cobra replica wheels at 10.5" to match your oem fronts. I usually start on ebay but just do a good search. And then a set of 315s to your liking. 315/35s retain stock height and circumference within 0.5mm.

Have fun!
