315's on a 96 cobra??? help

[WhtSuperStang]

Ive heard these will not fit and will rub if i keep the quad shocks in their current place. i heard the only way to fix this is to flip them to the inside.

anyone have experience with this? any and all help will be appreciated!

Depends what size rim and brand tire...If your talking about putting a Nitto 315 on your 9" rim you will definitely be fine...I had a 315 BFG dr on my 10.5" rim on my Cobra and I never even had to touch the quad shocks...

its going to be a 315 BFG DR on my 9" rim. So with that combo you dont think ill have a problem? and how are BFG's in the rain...are they as bad as the MT's ?

I wouldnt put that size tire on that rim, thats too big... A 295 BFG is pretty damn close to a 315 Nitto DR...If you really want a BFG id go with a 275 or a 295...

i had the old style bfg tread (usually all the 17" sizes are that tread) and they did pretty good in the rain. i got about 10k out of my bfg aswell

y is that too big compared to a 315 nitto? the only reason i ask is i can get 2 BFG dr's for dirt dirt cheap

Nitto DR's just run smaller than BFG's..My 295 BFG's are about the same width as my brothers 315 Nitto DR's...Im sure you could make the 315 BFG fit, but I wouldnt say its safe and its definitely gonna have a huge bulge...

My cousin is an asst. manager at a discount tire thats how i got the heads up, and hes really picky about the safey thing, ill run it by him again tho...

To me it looks like the 315 nittos barely fit well on a nine inch rim, I cant imagine just what kind of bulge you would get with BFG's, I agree with going with 275 or 295.

The only reason im considering the 315 is that my cousin found 2 for me that are just barely used and are nxt to nothing...

Well dont pass up the deal just because they wont fit. If you can get them for next to nothing then buy them and when you get some more cash or whatever then get some 17x10.5s and you'll already have the tires ready to go..

werd, do they make a machined replica 03/04 wheel? or just polished and chrome?

I think AFS still makes the machined 10.5 rim, but Ive heard the long term quality is not that good.

My tires are 305's, they are probably the same or a tiny bit smaller than marks 295bfg's. I remember a couple years ago seeing a red sn95 with your same rims and 315 nittos, even with those there is a pretty big bulge. I don't even think discount tire would mount 315bfg's to a 9" rim, they also don't touch anything with spacers. I found that out the hard way.

Afs Chrome's Were Great For Me They Do Make 17/10.5 In The Mach Finish They Have Great Prices On Rims
