Damn and only a 245/40 on the rear you need a much larger tire on that 10" wide wheel

that 245/40 is stretching the limits if i were in a shop i wouldn't put tires that small on that size rim.


I would sell these and buy some tires for the cobra's

you will be fine.

For the front, i have 18x9" saleen, 245/40 tire and coilovers. With the coilovers, my car has been lowered overall about 3"-3.5" (cant even stick my index finger between the tire and fender) I do rub, but then again, i am about 2" lower then the pro kit.

For the back, i have the eibach sportlines which lowers it 2". im running an 18x10" saleen with a 295 tires and don't rub at all.

So, you will be fine with prokits.
