you can spread your fenders if you want to keep the 275's

Not looking into getting body/paint work done. I like the 275's but that is a lot of to do.

I would avoid changing the height on it if possible, the stance is awesome. If I had an LX wing instead of a GT now I know what my 91 would look like.

OK, I ordered my 245's. I will put them on and see what happens.

The 245/45/17s will be fine for the front!

Who else has the Eibach Pro-Kit? If you do have it, does it sit this low for you?

Here is an old pic of my 89 with a pro kit. It had isolators on all the springs though.

Ok I just checked. I don't have isolators, I ordered up a set. I put a set of bullit wheels and tires. They are 255's and clear fine but they are only 8.5" wide I believe. I am not sure if the offset is different on them than the 03 Cobra's.

255 should be approx 10" wide. 255mm divided by 25.4mm/in = 10 in

Upper and lower iso's should raise the car btw 3/4" and 1".

The rims are 8.5 compared to the 9" Cobra's. That is what I was wondering about.
