Which wheel/tire combo?
I am looking to upgrade my current wheel/tire combo for my '95 cobra from the stock 17 x 8 - 255/45/17 to either chrome Cobra 2000R (Y2K) 18 x 9 or chrome '03 Cobra rims 18 x 9. The tires will be either 285/30/18 or 265/35/18. Any thoughts on which will look better? Also which tire will fit better and/or can anyone recommend a different tire size?

Depends on what you like. Do you like the oversized tire look which bubbles out? You can put a 295 35 18 on that rim the 98 Roush stang had this. Look at this http://www.mustangtuningforums.com/showthread.php?t=238

I have a connection for tires. My only other concern is, are replica wheels (rims) quality or should I spend a whole lot extra for originals (O.E.M)? there is a large difference in price between originals and the replicas found on ebay.

Here is a weblink with a calulator that calulates the correct tire size and offset needed depending on rim size.
