Are you looking to replace all 4 or just the rear 2?

Nitto DR's or 555 Extremes in 275's will fit fine. They run a little smaller than other manufacturers so it's cool.

I've been looking at those nittos...i can only find 275 40 17 rather than 275 45 17...does it matter or can an 01 cobra on stock rims hold the 40s instead of 45s

You can go 315s in the rear, and about 265s in the front.

Not safely on stock width rims.....


ofarevolution- 40's will be fine, 45's will be a little too tall IMO....
