BIGGEST Wheels!

95gtscobra · Jul 30, 2008

Hello, i have a 95 GT and i wanna know whats the max on how much wheel can fit in the rear of my car. Whats the biggest done to this body style and on what size rims. I have 17" Cobra Rs now but i might sell them soon to get into something that i can run big tires on! If you have pictures that i could drool over that would be great!
Thanks!

Anything larger than 19" wheels on an SN95 looks rice as far as I'm concerned...and even that's pushing it. a nice set of 18's with a fat outer lip and a 1.5" suspension drop looks about perfect IMO. As for width, I've heard of guys running up to a 335 on a 10.5" wide wheel, but it's really not practical for anything but looks.

yeah and really thats all im trying to achieve is the fatter look, maybe better traction. my 235/45s spin everytime now and wont grab. I measured my rims on the car and from the outer lip to outer lip its about 10.5-10.75" wide. That could be an inacurate way to measure the acutal width tho.

What kind of wheels are they? If they're stock 17" '95 GT wheels, then they're 8" wide.

um im not sure they came with the car. i know they had blue and red with a small american flag thing in the background center caps. so i dont know what repro brand that is.

edit: no these are 17" Chrome Cobra R wheels, not factory. They may be repro's tho

You could "donk" ride the stang on 22's I bet....would work well if you live in a flood zone lol..I wouldnt go bigger than 18's...As far as performance Id rather have a light set of wheels with the narrowest stick rubber I could get probably a 245 45 17's with the stickiest compound....but you want that "look" so 18 x 10's probably and like 315's?

95gtscobra · Jul 30, 2008

ive been looking up the 315s on a cobra R rim and they look great! So i dont really wanna have to sell my cobra r's. How do i figure out if theyre 9" or 10.5" wide rims in the back?

Widest wheel I've ever seen fit on our cars was the AR Torque Thrust II's in 17X11 with 7" of BS. You will need to modify the quad shock to run these and perhaps get the hammer out to some of the inner fender. 315's are the most common rear tire size to run as are 10.5" wheels with a 6.75" to 6.95" BS. I run 6.75" BS on a 17X10.5 and I have absolutely no rubbing issues at all and I didn't have to modify anything, not even the quad shock. A 335 "may" fit with the proper wheel specs and some influence from a big 'ol hammer.

im gonna agree that 19s are as big as i would go. and as far as width 315s will give you that Al Pacino "she's got a big A$$" look

69clark has 20s out back... sexy, IMHO... only when done tastefully that is...

maypo59 · Jul 30, 2008

If you pull a rim off, it should say on the back the size and backspacing..

I'm sure you could go with 30s

17x10.5 look nice under a Mustang. Here's the best photo I could find online to show you - it's a New Edge, but it's close enough:

Baby got a PHAT AZZ!!!!

blksn955.o · Jul 30, 2008

someone say wide rear tires....

I have the above mentioned 17x11 ARE TTII's with a 315/35/17 tire...

mustang6tee8 · Jul 31, 2008

I have 18x9's all around with 275/40s in back with 245/40s in front. I think its a good look. I think 19s look too big. BTW I have a 2" drop

cmozez · Jul 31, 2008

I have the 10.5's on the back with 315's and a 1.5" drop and it just looks mean as hell!!!!
