I hear ya, I have never bent a wheel...I was just being agreeable lol
And yes, options are limited with those cobra brakes...damned if you do, damned if you don't.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION SO I HOPE I DON"T PISS TOO MANY DUDES OFF BUT>>>>Back in the day I ran skinnies for years...love the look. Then I went with for a more street worthy set up with 17x8 at all four corners, then 18's yadda yadda love that look too as long as the wheel/tire sizing is perfect. But when Iam at a car show or where ever (this might be my older age @ 33 lol) I INSTANTLY gravitate to the cars with a mean looking drag set ups. If I see a foxbody running 275/60's in the rear...Iam all over it!!!
