Alright folks this is my first foray into this joint and I have a question. Am looking to upgrade the 17 inch rims on my '99 Cobra. Can't find anyone who knows for sure what this car can handle in terms of rim size and tire width. Am considering 18 or 19 inch rims with 8.5 or 9.0 inch rubber in the front and 10 or 10.5 in the rear. Anyone out there have experience with this stuff? Am all ears if you do. Lay your wisdom on me

18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 x 10.5 in the back should work without a problem. And btw, welcome to the site  |

If you want to buy a QUALITY rim that is functional and not just bling I would recommend the BBS RK in an 18x9 all the way around.

I'd recomend any BBS rim but there damn expensive. Someone had a clean sn-95 car without the spoiler with some bbs rims, looked clean as hell. They look great on a stang, its amazing how 4 little rims can make our cars look european. |
