Pics of my cobra r's plus a few questions. Tires/ center caps

[billison]

Did some trading and ended up with a set of 17x9 cobra r's.

Old rims

And now the new. ( to me) cobra r's

Now a few questions and pics to help.

They came with 3 center caps that are clearly not made for them. Any ideas on what I can do? I can get one more and live with it but I'd rather buy centers that fit..

Also , any idea what style these are?

As it sits , the fronts are 245/45 and the rear is 275/40 ( might have the 40's mixed up) ill be getting new tires soon and plan to lower it next winter.. Would the. 245/45's be safe for the front once lowered? My goal is to have no issues with rubbing once lowered.. It's a 92 so I have a bit more room but don't care to risk it. I've searched and searched and only get mixed answers ..

Can you post a few pics of how the 245s look on the front I'm debating on going 245 on my wheels and they are the exact same as yours

I got cobra copys on mine with 245's, I'll send pic later as it's too dark outside... there are 1/4" spacers on them and they still rub stock a-arms slightly on hard turns

Back when I had my 17x8 Cobra's I had 245's all the way around without any issues.

i run 245/45-17 bfg's up front with b-springs, no issues other than an occasional rub on my gt's front fender spat when backing out of my driveway (hill that ends at the street). the 90+ fenders dont really have that issue, you'll be fine.

On my 92, if I run 245's up front and 255's in the rear.. Think ill be good once I lower it?

shouldn't be a problem, i also ran a 275/40 out back with flipped quads for years, and had no issues tire wise (though in my case, flipping the quads made the bodies rub on the normal shock bodies, never heard of this anywhere else though). with the 245's i originally had back there though, i kept quads in the stock orientation. since a 255 is somewhere in between, the quads should be the only thing you MIGHT have to mess with.
