Question from the new guy...

[mtpruden]

I need more rear tire. I have 17'' Chrome Cobra R's, with only 275s, on an 86 5.0. The problem I have is that I am running a 12'' Baer brake in the rear, and a 13'' Baer in the front. Now, what would be correct offset/size to run a 305 in the rear, and do they make the wheels I have in that size?
p.s- this is because of traction issues.
Thanks,
Darrell

the only way to run that size of tire is to do a mini tub plus what axles are you running stock fox length or 94-98 that also plays a factor on offset

 

[WANNA_BE_GT]

Agreed with the mini tub. You will run into rubbing issues both inside the fender well as well as outside. Just get stickier tires

you have enough tire. what you need is a stickier tire and suspension tuning for it to hook. (yes i saw your mod list)

Hi darrell, saw you at the track tonight (im the guy with the white 80) after watching your car run I think you would need drag radials to have a chance at
hooking up. Again your car looks good.

here are a couple of pics of a friends 90 GT with one of my 18x10 FR500 with a 295/35/18 put the tire and rim on to check for clearence it has ranger axles so as to keep the fox length it cleared the quad shock but I had already flipped the shock before for clearence issues before it is very tight fit but would work there is no way of getting any more tire under without alot of work

 

[wicked93]

oh yeah they have a 6.38 b/s and a +22mm offset

Now that's a tight squeeze, but I like it I couldn't fit more than 245's in the back of my Saleen convertible. But that is probably because it was sitting very low.

yea, im going with drag radials, BF Goodrich most likely. Oh yea, speaking of traction issues, 12.04 @126 mph.
