RE: damn these look big!!!

The 275's fit, correct?.

I believe I'm going to go with 275's also, not sure in Nitto or BFGoodwrich.

RE: damn these look big!!!

I bought some cobra r 17x9's from cudaz101, they are on back order for another few weeks or so at Dante Designs. I know that rim style is played out a little but I rarely see them in my area on a mustang never mind a mark. I can't wait to get them on. I read that the yoko's run wider then other brands of tires, and damn these bad boys are WIDE!!! Talk about steam rollers!

RE: damn these look big!!!

don't have the rims yet, they will be here soon. Will hopefully be on the car by mid to late april.
 
RE: damn these look big!!!

I shouldn't have any problems then, your car looks great with that set up too. So you have no rubbing at all and no modifications, even minor ones? Can't wait to get the rims in and get everything mounted.
 
RE: damn these look big!!!

The tires I got through a friend who owns a shop and can get me tires at wholesale, and the rims I bought from cudaz101, they are on back order for a few more weeks at dante designs. But 150 a piece for polished cobra r's. He has a lot of other rims too, email him. cudaz101@yahoo.com <~~~pretty sure that's right
 
RE: damn these look big!!!

Did you ever get a chance to take pics of the tires installed on the car? I'm interested to see how it looks.

Thanks,

Marty
 
 
RE: damn these look big!!!

looks great, but what about the trac control and abs? I mean doesn't running 2 different size tires mess things up? The tread design looks awsome on those tires.
 
RE: damn these look big!!!

First of all I don't have traction control, nor do I need it with the limited slip differential. So not issue there, shouldn't be a problem if I did. It onlt compares the speed of the two rear tires. As far as abs, well the front and rear tires are different widths but exactly the same height. Although in the winter I run much taller tires in the back and have not had any abs problems. It might cause a problem but I wouldn't worry too much. thanks for the compliments. I love the way the yokohama tires look and perform, would definately reccomend them!!
