Any problems with this sn95 wheel/tire combo

ep87 · Feb 19, 2006

Hi I just got a 96 gt, and I'm planning on ordering these wheels and tires, and
I want to know, if any of you are having problems with this setup , rubbing, clearance, etc. The gt's got the stock suspension now, but I plan on lowering it
1-2 inchs some time in the future, so here goes.

Front 17 x 9 cobra r with 275/40-17

Rear 17 x10.5 cobra r with 315/35-17

Thanks Richard

you might need a spacer on the rear. i have that size up front and it only rubs on full lock on the sway bar. ill probably play with some spacers and see how everything meets up after i get the ride height set how i want it.

you should be fine just make sure the back spacing is correct

Is your car all ready lowered some or is the rubbing at stock ride height.

thanks Richard

So maybe some thing like 275/40-17 on 17 x10.5 in the rear
and 245/45-17 on 17 x 9 on the front

is your car with the 315's lowered in the rear at all ?

Thanks Richard

just go 275 all around. a 245 looks weird on a 9" rim and a 275 is too narrow for a 10.5" rim. a 275 fits perfectly on a 9" rim.

yeah, that is a pretty good setup...if you can find 295's...that is what I personally would go with...but on our body styles, we can't get away with having 315's like the 99 and up guys can...although it does look sweet..
