225/45/17 BF Goodrich G-Force TA drag radials

will these fit on my stock wheels? Also how well will i hook up with these? I know they are pretty skinny but they are very cheap from a friend and not used.

unless your stock rim is a 17 then no way

stock rims normally are 15 inches..
check your sidewall on the tire on your car now


this is how tires are sized
225 is the width i forget what measurement.
45 is the side wall height 45%of the first which is 225 on this tire
17 is the rim diameter

on a tire it normally looks like this 225/45R17

the R is for rim
Now if your tire one the car says anything else after the R like 16,15,14 then no it is not goin to work..

anymore questions just ask

If you have a Cobra, then you have a 17x8 wheel stock. I would think these would fit.

well I'd think the DR would still give you better traction.

I wouldnt do it, they are gonna be really stretched out and they arent that wide. Save up and gut some 245's.

I have these exact tires on my CL-S and they hook pretty good, but your car is making alot more low end tq, so they'd be pretty stressed.

Man im not really sure they will fit. If so they will be a stretch to get on and even worse to get off.

They'll fit. The width range on those is 7-8.5" and the stockers fall in that range nicely. Of course, they'll probably look a bit funny, but it they work, they work.
