Default Need some Help from the Board

Thanks in Advance.

I Just don't want to mess this decision so I need your help. Plus I want my car looking good when I go to myrtle beach for Grad-Week

Alright first like to say thanks to everyone who helped me out in other thread in the Picture section but I wouldn't this thread just for the Rims/Tires.

I'm looking for a nice stance for the car without lowering it right now.

I've Decided to go with the Chrome 03 Cobra Rims.

Rims/Tire


Option 1: 17x9 with 275/40-17 all around because more than likely I will be only ordering my rims through AM.com instead of Wheels/Tires.Option 2: 17x9 in the front and 17x10.5 in the Rear. Do I need the same tire size as both in the rear and front.
Lug Nuts

Option 1: Chrome Locking LugNut http://www.americanmuscle.com/chlolugnuand.html
Option 2: Bullet Lug Nut
http://www.americanmuscle.com/verde-...-lug-nuts.html
Option 3: Chrome Acorn Lug Nut
http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...-lug-nuts.html

Centar Caps- Going with the SVT Cobra Center Cap

i dont think you should put SVT center caps on the V6 IMO...



other than that looks great. and i like the bullet lug nuts, plus, they are harder to steal cause a normal tireiron wont work because the bullet part sticks way far out.

Yea I don't want to misbadge but Rims shouldnt really matter I guess LOL.
AM only has those and the Cobra Caps in Stock so IDK.

Should I go with 17x9 All around or 17x9Front and 17x10Rear?

i like the 17x 10 in the rear personally, i guess a lot of that depends if you ever drive in snow, cause 315's that work in snow are friggin expencive.

Id go with the 10.5 in the rear. And no, you do not need the same size tire in for the front and rear.

Will be ordering tomorrow as soon as find out how much the tires are getting quoted from at a tire place my dad knows. Hopefully I will be able to trade in my tires now since I just got them about two months ago LOL

When I had gotten a set all the way around back in Feb. I paid close to 450 for a full set of new shoes, they were rated Z tires too.

They were Nexxen tires, from a place locally in my area.

I had gotten 245/45 on the front, and 275/40 in the back.

I live in Charlotte. Its only about a 4 hour drive from me. Looking forward to it. One of my friends said I didn't have to drive I was like well I am so I can sport the Stang LOL.

New Rims are on order
I decided to go with the 03 Cobras 17x9 All the way around, so I can still rotate my tires and everything. Maybe in the future when I upgrade I can go to the 17x10.5 in the Rear.
