How wide should I make my wheels?

[blck10th]

OK, I have 2 extra wheels for my cobra. I want to have them widened. How wide can I go before it looks like a low rider and the stick out past the fenders?

I have a solid our of a Mach 1 that has 9" ends welded on. it is the factory length that it was. so non of that changes. I also have cobra brakes so would that screw up anything?

11" wide with a 315 tire would look nasty, I doubt you would have any issues if the wheels retain the stock offset and backspacing

put 335's on it.....you can make them fit

Too wide, they stick out past the fenders a hair. 315's are the perfect width for these cars.....IMO.

Also......Jimmy......why widen the stockers? It's cheaper to sell the stockers and just find a pair of 10.5 inch replicas of the stockers. Widening the wheels will cost you more.

theres a thread on the gt/sohc section on corral about this exact subject. Seems people have done 18x11.5 with 345/18 bfg's with out sticking out the fender.

replicas that are 10.5W are not cheaper

I agree . I also bought the replicas in the staggered 18" and hated them the minute they went on the car but I gave them a chance and ended up going back to the 18" staggered AFS wheels. I also agree with Larry the 315's are the perfect width. Send your stockers out and widen them IMO

this size tire? any pics of what it looks like on someones car?

 

[Maniak]

i dont know if you are aware but the replicas dont match the stock 10th's at all so you would have to get a set of all 4's.

Heres my car with 315/35r17 sumitomos on 17x10.5" bullitts. My car is stock height obviously.

thanks, not much sidewall though

 

[Ear Rak]

Just looks that way from the height of the car. The 315/35's are the same height as a 275/40

Agree with post above, sidewall looks fine

If I want to beat you I need to take all 4 wheels or the blower off of your car.
