So what's the possibility

July 30, 2005, 02:29:18 PM

So I'm going to be doing the front where shortly, I was wondeirng what's the possibility of putting 275's on the front of the cougar.

How much space would it save me for putting 245's on the 9" cobras vs the 275's. Anyone know what the dimension would be at the very top of the wheel?

hmm, with 9" fronts I think that it would rub alittle. I dunno about the fender though. Is it the stock offseted rims?

Stock cobra wheels yes, with the 275/40/17's. With 99+ spindles and probably fox a-arms to bring it in a little bit. I planned on removing the inner fender lip.

So 275's on a 9" wide wheel will fit on the front? I can imagine on lock to lock turns it will rub like crazy right?

What kind of A-arms and spindles do you have on there? Eric says he has rubbing with 8.5" wheels.

Can anyone else chime in on this subject?
