Thread: Wheel and Tire Tech Question.

I'm Haveing my stock 17x8 94 Cobra wheels width increased 2inches to accomadate 315/35/17 tires. will the 2 inches be enough?
Thanx Bones.

I think it depends on the brand of tires? Research a brand that fits small on 17x10.5 and you should be set I would think?

^ Yep. Nittos run a little small and would fit, otherwise I believe you need a 10.5" wheel to make it work right with most tires.

I'm looking at Nittos. Thanks for the info. I should have the wheels back by the end of the week. It's gonna look so tuff with stock wheels and fatty meats. People that know Cobra wheels are gonna be all like what!!!!!!!!

Who is doing the widening? I have heard that is pretty expensive?

I run the nitto NT05 in 315's on my 17x10.5's. They are not narrow. This tire is as wide as a BFG. if you want a narrow tire you'll need the 555's. I dont think the 1/2" will make a big difference. plus i like the tires to buldge a little.

True Design wheel. There in Denver near Rocky's Auto. $220.00 a wheel.

Damn, why not just purchase look alikes in 10.5? AM has most of the Cobra replicas and they don't run that much!

I don't do look alike's. That would be like owning a fake Rolex or driving a Cobra replica. No Good.

I have 10.5's with 315/35R17's on my cobra and they look pretty decent.
