Ganton said:I have the original 245/45x17 all around. The car has been lowered using Eibach Pro-Kit for the Cobra. Sits pretty level, but maybe "slightly" higher in front, like 1/4 in. or so. I was thinking of switching my tires to 255/40x17 in the front and 275/40x17 in the rear to give it a "slight rake," and maybe lessen the wheel well gap in front. What do you guys think of this?

BTW: how the hell did CarrollShelby get un-banned?
dude...he's not carrolshelby..he's a troll who was being stupid a few months ago and got bannedGanton said:Jeex, why would one of the greatest, if not The Greatest, performance car innovators of all time, Carroll Shelby, get banned from this forum? I cannot comprehend that....
TXSnakeCharmer said:I didnt mention it above but I have 17x9 wheels, stock are 17x8. For safety reasons I personlly wouldnt run greater than 255 on stock wheels although many do.
....but I figured it would be fun to play along for a while, but maybe it isn't (a very bright or funny thing to do, that is..?)1990StangLX said:dude...he's not carrolshelby..he's a troll who was being stupid a few months ago and got banned
Well, SnakeCharmer, your suspension combo makes your car's stance look damn good, to me, anyway....TXSnakeCharmer said:Ganton,
I have Kenny Brown sport springs with 2KR shocks and 03 struts installed with poly bushings.
he's just some stupid troll.Ganton said:....but I figured it would be fun to play along for a while, but maybe it isn't (a very bright or funny thing to do, that is..?)
BTW, if C.S. was "banned" from 'stangnet, how can he still be allowed to post?? Answer me that, I'd really like to know...

TXSnakeCharmer said:I run 255/40/17 front and 275/40/rear on my Cobra. There is about .7" difference in overall diameter between the two but that varies by manufacturer, mine are Kumho ECSTA Supra 712. It will also vary depending on your suspension. I like my setup, have had no problems. You just need to remember there is no way to rotate your tires when you mix sizes like this if the tires are unidirectional like allot are these days, like my Kumho's.
Ya know I dont really have any good "side" shots so this will have to do.
