rear tire pics
 
hey anyone with 275's or 285's in the rear got pics from the back of the car? im trying to decide which size to go with on the back im jsut not sure if 275 is wide enough for me os pics wil help...thanks

I have pics somewhere of 285's on a 10.5" wide rim before I upgraded to 315's. Would that help?

yea sure im planning on getting the 03 cobra 17x9s but mite go to 17x10.5 if i decide to put 285s...not sure if they would fit on the 17x9

i would think that a 285 would be too small for a 10.5" wide rim...something more like a 295, 305, or 315 would be better

dookie2365 10-29-2006 09:04 AM

so that should mean 285 would fit on a 17x9 ? i dont want to go bigger then this its jsut between 275 n 285 right now

if i were you..go w/ a 245 in the front and 275 or 285 in the back...the size difference will give you more of a fatty rear and a skinny front..

dookie2365 10-29-2006 02:38 PM

yea but idk, the 245s seem too small to me

Lances03SVT 10-29-2006 03:10 PM

Yep too small.

here's 285/40 on 17x10.5 rims

Attachment 26336

285s will work on 10.5s, they just don't bulge out like 295s or 315s. I have a friend that has 285/40 GSD3s on his 17x9 cobra rims all around, looks pretty cool:

i am confused as to what u are doing w/ the aftermarket rims....haha..are you gonna use the cobra's for racing only and the switch them to the bullits when ur done racing?

dookie2365 10-29-2006 05:47 PM

im keeping the cobra's with the drag radials on during spring and summer, the when fall is comming to an end slapping on my snow tires which will be on my 2 of my stock rims for the read, and 2 all seasons in the front. so if weather gets really bad in summer i can alwasy swap out the rear dr's and put the stock rims with the all seasons on

PureStang 10-29-2006 06:43 PM

oo ok..i thought u were only gonna buy 2 cobra rims for the rear..haha

dookie2365 10-29-2006 06:45 PM

haha naa i drive a ford not a honda

Mine in the rear are BFGs Comp TA's 285s-17s on a 9.5 inch rim and fit perfect, front are stock Eagles 245s, not a good pic but gives you an idea;
