I believe the dude's name was Tom. I guess he was into drifting, so he probably has a different definition of tire wear.

will v6 15" tri bars fit on stock unground cobra brakes? if so i have a set of 26x10.5's ET streets mounted on them that i have no use for since i have 4.30's in my car now.

I don't know... You have any buddies with Cobra brakes that you can try it on?

I think I'm more just interested to know if they will fit over Cobra brakes. If you were local, I'd definitely consider it, but shipping cost on wheels is anal rape. That's why I've really only been looking locally.

In front, yea. In back, I'm pretty sure at least 16" will fit.
