I just bought some 1993 Cobra R style rims in 17x9 for my 94 GT. Looking to find the best tire size set up for these rims. Obviously the wider the better. Can you guys give me advice?
Rear: 285/40 is the widest and best PROPER fit for our 17x9’s. Yes, you can fit wider, but then you’re creeping into bulging issues, removing the quad shock or flipping it and speedometer issues. And you won’t have to roll the fenders
Front: 265/45. Yes, you can fit a 275, but if you’re gonna go 275 front and 285 rear (not a whole helluva lot of difference really), you may as well go 275’s all the way around and get longer wear since you can then do a 4 tire rotation.
