dookie2365 · 10-29-2006, 08:32 AM

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

WaterDR · 10-29-2006, 08:39 AM

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

dookie2365 · 10-29-2006, 08:42 AM

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

PureStang · 10-29-2006, 09:49 AM

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, 10:04 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

*Lances03SVT* · 10-29-2006, 12:35 PM

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, 03:38 PM

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

*Lances03SVT* · 10-29-2006, 04:10 PM

Yep too small.

are these for aftermaket rims or your stock rims? i may have misunderstood that we were talking about aftermarket rims

dookie2365 · 10-29-2006, 04:36 PM

aftermarket...im planning on nitto 555r on front then nitto 555r extreme on rear of 17x9 03 cobras

PureStang · 10-29-2006, 06:12 PM

is ur car a dd? get a street tire like the BFG KDWs or something

dookie2365 · 10-29-2006, 06:24 PM

yea its daily driver...but im keeping a seperate set of tires on my stock rims n gona switch em out wiht the dr's wen i need

machnjo · 10-29-2006, 06:43 PM

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

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:

PureStang · 10-29-2006, 06:43 PM

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, 06:47 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, 07:43 PM

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

dookie2365 · 10-29-2006, 07:45 PM

haha naa i drive a ford not a honda

Samsstang · 10-31-2006, 03:52 PM
