hey guys im about to get some deep dish cobras front 17/9 rear 17/10.5 and i am of course getting 315/35/17 for out back and i want the right size for the front not to big not small but i dont think they make a 255/35/17 or 265/3517??

first off, what mustang are you running? 315's are freaking wide. you got to make sure you have the suspension to handle that. other wise, its going to screw your handling all up. what mustang do you have? do you have stock suspension? Also, they dont make a p255 35 17, the only 255 35R combos come on 20inch rims. If you increased to profile a tad on the front you could get economy performance tires for like 150 a piece. the size for them are 225 40 r 17. still not bad at all

fronts will be 275-40-17 and you will love the DD look. i love it as wekk.
cant run a 225 on a 9 inch wheel 97 stanger.

i have 1996 mustang gt...stock suspension...about to put brand new shocks all the way around though...

[matrixpuba]

you can run a 17x9 and a 17X10.5 wheel. i seen it many times

[droppedbass87]

what size are you running there??

[matrixpuba]

275/40/17 in the front and 315/35/17 in the rear

[droppedbass87]

did you have to take any quad shocks off or anything??and did it slow your car down at all??with new rims??

[matrixpuba]

i did not have to remove my quad shocks. i do not know if it slowed me down because i never been to the track. but with a DR tire on the rear it hooks big time. they are heavier but the extra traction makes up for it.

LOL mybad. Misread it. lol.

[matrixpuba]

wow my 2 l's look like k's lol

[droppedbass87]

so do you drive that thing daily even in rain with those drag radials??

[matrixpuba]

no i run the DR in the summer. the winter i run the trusty sumitomos lol

[sleepinggt]

i have the 17*10.5's out back, don't do it they aren't worth the money and drag radials wear out fast and cost like gold


you are better off getting 17*9's all around and when you need traction keep some 15*8 welds with slicks or drag radials around

will be much cheaper than replacing 17 inch drag radials all the time, better wet traction on the street, and the 15*8's with big dr/slicks will hook way better than 17 inch drag radial anyway

[matrixpuba]

the idea of changing out me 17" wheels for a set of 15" everytime i want to hook will get old. if you drive alot run the nittos. if the stang is just a toy, run the bfg tires. my 1st set of nittos ran for a summer and a half. i ran my bfg tires last summer and still have half the life left in them.

[droppedbass87]

why do the 10.5 suck???

[droppedbass87]

and if i do go with the 10.5 i want to get the bf goodrich g forces but they only go up to285 will that fit on a 10.5 rim???

[matrixpuba]

they may fit but they will look funny all streached out. but then again they may not fit. why not run the bfg kdw tires?

[droppedbass87]

cuz i hate to say that this but thy look bad ass you know...maybe i might go with 18s just to get the 10 inch rim
