What size tires?

[Big Poppa]

Hey guys, I can get a set of 2000 Cobra rims w/ 245-45-17 tires on them. (not too much tread) (25.68 in. tall w/ 4.35 in. sidewalls) Will I be able to run these tires for a while or will it ride horrible. Also, what size tires would you recommend when I replace them?

the rims are 17 x 7.5 (thoughts)
Thanks

stock height '91
how does $475 sound

i would say at least 265s for cobra rims... those rims are too wide for the little tire you plan to put.... the 265 is minimum....

 

[Big Poppa]

265 would be better than 10 inches wide. The rim is only 7.5. Will they mount them?

 

[jimbo74]

oh...in my experience cobras were either 8 or 9....never 7.5.... heck, the sock rims are 7.....in that case id say a 245 or 255

I have 255/55R18 on my 93 Sport and they fit no problem.

ryan, what is your rim width?

 

[4Wheelin]

18x9

Does anybody know for sure how wide a 2000 cobra rim is?
Also, if it is 7.5 can I put a 255/50 on it?

Thanks

They should fit on 7.5" wides. I have 275/40ZR17 on 17x8.5" rims. They fit fine on my 96.
