Nitto 315 on 03 Cobra w/stock wheels

I know this has come up before, but just wanted to see if anyone has had good or bad experience with Nitto 315 drags on stock cobra wheels.

Also what size do you recomend on the front? 315's also, or smaller?

I don't know anything about th NT01's, but I do know a lot of people run the 555's at the autocross and are happy with them.

The 315 Nitto's fit just fine on the stock Cobra 9 inch rims, but ONLY THE NITTO'S ARE LIKE THIS! Nitto tires are notorious for being more narrow than any other tire when comparing the same sizes. Any other 315 will require a wider rim and the mods neccessary to run that rim.

I would not put 315 Nitto's on the front though. That would be too wide, stick with the stock tire size for the fronts.

I've seen both the Nitto and the BFG 315's mounted on the stock 9 inch rims. The Nitto's actually don't bulge much at all, but the BFG's sure did! I'd be a little leery of running the BFG's on the stock rims.

I will add that you'll get your money's worth on the Nittos though as the tires will last a decent amount longer.
