Hey guys, I'm thinking about some 17" cobra rims. If you have pictures, please post them up! Also, what is the largest tire that will fit in the back for a lowered stang? I have a 1.5" drop. Thanks!

Here are some Chrome 03/04 Cobra Rims

I fit 275s in the back and 245s up fron but I think you could fit a 295 or 305.

I've seen DD Cobras and dont really care for them but thats my opinion.

^^ those are some nice rims. I'm looking for new edge pix though since I have a black 2000. I meant to say 03/04 cobra rims ( I don't really like the Cobra R kind). I'm caught between the 03 cobra's and the saleen type...but I can't find a 17x10.5 saleen rim . I think 18" rims look too big IMO.

If you are using 17x9 03/04 Cobra rims, you should not be running 245 tires. They ware too small for a 9 inch rim.

They're whatever an 04 Cobra had on them, I bought them from a friend of mine who pun on BC Smoothies on his. His choice though.

As for the tires they fit fine there is a very slight lip on them but nothing crazy.

Anybody know the widest tire you can fit on those rims for sure, I know I said I thought you could fit a 295-305 on them but Im not sure.

According to tire rack, you can fit 315's on a 10.5" wide rim. A 245 on a 9" rim should be OK as well.

BTW Yellow- did you put 10.5" rims in the rear? Where did you buy the rims, and how much did they cost?

If you want asbsolutely no wheel protection than you can run a 245 on 9'' wheel.
