I just got my new turbo coupe rearend installed over the course of the week. I am now looking for 17'' wheels/tires as my stock 14 inchers wont work. Will a 17x9 with 245/45/17 tires work without rubbing...and if so can I step it up to a 275? I'd like a meatier tire if at all possible. Also I have to keep in mind I put in Steeda springs, of which I bought slightly used and am not sure how much lower the car will be.
17 x 9's with a 5.95 backspace. 275's out back and 245's up front will fit.
Hey thanks for the feedback. That's what I had in mind, 245's in front and 275's in the rear. The wheels I have in mind are the '03 Cobra style ones in 4 lug. I believe the SVT Cobra's come stock with 275's anyway...I just didn't know for sure if it would all work out with my 'bird. I love your car btw, been watching it's progress on cardomain for a while!
