275 on front rubbing?

[CJMcLean]

Anyone else having rubbing issues with 275/40/17 up front? I'm hoping it's the tires rubbing and not the steering rack going back. Mounted on stock 17 cobra wheels.

Check the swaybar/inner fender, your probably just rubbing at full lock i hate 275's on the front.

Cobra's have rack limiters to prevent this right?

It's pretty common. You can get steering limiters to stop the rubbing. They are pretty cheap. Mine rubs on the sway bar.

mine don't rub at all anymore. When I first put them on my car I had issues with them rubbing at full lock but when I swapped in the 03 cobra arms, it went away.

I'm running 2003 cobra anniversary wheels on my '94 cobra and the tires hit the sway bar and the wheels made contact with the A arms at full lock when sliding. The 94-95 cobras do not have rack limiters or different A arms than a GT. I have since added rack limiters and '03 cobra A arms which are stamped differently to allow a wider wheel/tire combo and I no longer rub anywhere.
