I have a Cobra Rs on my 89 Gt. 9" 245/45 up front and 10.5" 275/40 back

Could I put street slicks of any type on my car without modifying car ? The quad shocks aren't a big problem for now, but I could ditch them for u/l control arms

I know you can put 555s on them, but could you put anything better on it? (like real slicks ect)

Also, they make different versions of the 555 (R/RZ) which is better on the street?

Sweetness

Do you think they would fit? I'm running Kumho Esta 712s 275x40 in the rear now.
