BennyDaBall said:I'm not sure about the catback/spacer questions...but the 255's should fit, 245's might be a little too narrow though. Like, they would probably fit, but you wouldn't have any tire to protect your wheels. You should run 255's in the front and anything between 255 and 275 or so in the rear. If the rear tires are too much smaller than the front tires it will increase understeer, which is bad for street handling and autoX/track.
I totaly agree you should at least get 255's all around.durknutz01GT said:Yea, I had 245's on my cobra r's.. proof positive by the curb rash on my front right wheel...
Asking if they fit is the obvious, you can open any mustang magazine and you'll see the overused Cobra R rims on a mustangPennywise2 said:Will a 17X9 Cobra R wheel fit the front and rear wheel wells of a
96 GT with a Flowmaster catback? Will you need wheel spacer?
Also will a 245/45/17 or 255/45/17 really fit a 17X9 Cobra R wheel?
Really need to know thanks!
The way the crappy rear is designed and the use on the street, and the how people drive I would suggest wider in the back. 99% of mustang owners out there never get their car to the limit in a turn, even though they think they do. Understeer can be changed, but breaking the tires loose happens alot more durring daily driving than trying to cut the corner the fastest you canBennyDaBall said:If the rear tires are too much smaller than the front tires it will increase understeer, which is bad for street handling and autoX/track.
Thanks for the good advice Tom but,I already got Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3tomustang said:Asking if they fit is the obvious, you can open any mustang magazine and you'll see the overused Cobra R rims on a mustang
dude seriously, save up for your tires, i suggest you get 'atleast' 275 all around from a GOOD tire manufacturer
ah ok, well then you don't have to buy real cobra r's unless you can find them cheap, the replicas are just as goodPennywise2 said:Thanks for the good advice Tom but,I already got Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3
255/45/17's from Tire Rack. I will be getting wheels in the near future.
