You have any pics of them on the car? They look pretty cool by the way.

'01 cobra wheels. 17x8 all the way around, 275/40's out back 245/45's up front. Front fenders are rolled, backs are stock.

The pics are with 245/40's and 245/45's.

Cool wheels so far. I found some 17x9/17x10 cobra rims last night. Would these even fit? I know spacers would be a must but how thick would they need to be? 17x9 fronts seem like they would at least require spacers and then over fenders to cover the wheel a little. But then the 17x10 rears...thats pretty damn wide. would look good though.

17x9 and 17x10 should fit with around +24 offset on both. this is with fenders rolled and a little camber. but it really depends on tire size.

So the 17x9,10's will should fit with about +24 offset. I am not too keen on offsets and the like but you also mentioned depending on tire size. I dont plan on getting any tires that will be too thick. maybe a 45 series or a 50 series at thickest. the tires will also be no wider than the wheels themselves. they might JUST seat on the rim. maybe someone can show me some pics of a similar application. I have read on a few post where some of you are going so far as a 12'' wide rear be it for drag racing but still. Anyone help me think of some options for the 9''fronts and 10''rears? any info would be cool, thanks
