widest wheels

[pmot]

What is the widest wheels that I can SAFLEY put on my 98 cobra. I don't want them to rub anywhere. My car also has eibac pro kit.

On a hard bump, I belive you'll rub with 10.5's on the quarter while lowered. I'm at stock height with 315 tires, and I have 0 issues.

I had 335s on my 10.5s at stock ride hide and they would rub from time to time but it was very minor

If you want to play it safe you can go with 9" wheels all around, i have 10" wheels out back with 295 BFG DRs and I haven't rubbed them on anything yet.

 

[pmot]

That was what I was planing on doing 9" on front and 10" on back.
Is your car lowered?

 

[OnyxCobra]

yup H&R SuperSport springs.

 

[pmot]

how far do the lower it?

 

[OnyxCobra]

1.75" front 1.6" rear

 

[pmot]

Well then I should be fine if you never rub. Eibach pro kit only lowers around 1.1".
Does anybody else on here have any problems with this wide of wheel?
How many people have this wide of wheel and don't have any problems?

i have 10.5s with 315s out back on my 94 and it has ford racin C springs and it would rub during hard corning but i fixed that with a hammer to the inner fenderwell on the back where it was rubbing. after that ive had not one single issue with rubbing.


also the person with the 335s what kind of tire is it because i havent seen a 335 for a 17in rim yet

315's with 10.5" rims & the same Eibach Prokit Plus...no rubbing issues...don't worry about it...I have 275's on 9" rims on the front...no problems either besides a small kiss on the Eibach swaybar when turning right...not even an issue.

 

[pmot]

Thanks that makes me feel a little better.
Anybody have anything else to say?

 

[OnyxCobra]

a LOT of people here have wide wheels and tires with little to no issues. the Pro Kit drop is more like 1.5" i believe but you'd be fine even with the Sportlines 2" drop.

I'm running 18x10.5's with a 315... I rub on occasion, but I have yet to cut into the tire. I am very careful with off camber roadway and any speed bumps etc. However, I also have an eastwood fender roller that I will be using to eliminate this problem.

There are always a few tricks out there to get the necessary clearance for your needs. Where there's a will there's a way.

I have 2" drop coils and used to run 275/40-17s on a 9" wheels and 315/35-17s on a 10.5" wheel with no issues... Then I added a tubular k-member and my 245/35-18s rub (drivers side full right lock) a bit with 8.5" wheels until I put the front sway bar back on...
