I want to order some Cobra Rs and found some for $600 shipped that I might buy. There are two 17"x8" and two 17"x9". I hear 275s are good for the rear but not sure what to do up front with the 8" wheels. I would kinda like to have the profile be the same in front and back. So what size tires should I go with on my rims? And if anyone wants to recommend a good set of rubbers I'd like to hear.

you can go 235/45/17 on the front and 255/40/17 on the rear without clearance issues... with 275s out back you may need to roll the fender lips.

I have 275 in the rear but had to flip the quad shock. Now i have mm LCA's and just removed it. in the front i have 245's. Im on pro kits springs and the fronts only rub if I turn the steering wheel all the way. No fender rolling was needed on and my my fenders.

I have 245s now and they rub.

How does the pro kit ride? I'm looking for some springs too.

245s up front and 275s out back and they are damn near identical in diameter.
