335/35-17 Hoosier DRs on 10.5" Cobra Rs

Hey guys,

I'm selling my drag radials. I used to think my car was solid enough to drive to the track and drive home, well its not. It always gets trailered now so I no longer need DOT track tires. I just picked up a set of 15" wheels, so these gotta go.

You are getting 2 335/35-17 Hoosier Drag Radials and 2 17 x 10.5" '95 Cobra R replica wheels. The wheels/tires are dynamically, road-force balanced with tape weights. The pics don't show the centercaps, but I believe they are in my toolbox at work. They are just a generic knockoff cobra centercap. These tires have exactly 7 passes on them and about 60 miles of street driving on them. Yes, these are practically brand new.

I found the best way to fit such a large tire on my car was with a 3/4" spacer and rolling the fender lips. You also need to remove the quad shocks, flip/tweak the parking brake cable brackets, and very slightly massage the inner fender for added clearance. These tires are guaranteed to get you that "wow! how did u stuff such a huge tire under there" attention.;:cool2: And they have all the traction in the world to back it up.

I've got about $700 tied up here, I'll let them go for $450.

In reality, its not that much work involved. I think the hardest thing to do out of all of it was install the longer wheel studs to use the 3/4" spacers. Clearancing the sheet metal for the tires does not involve any cutting and can be done in about an hour or so.

You are right though, this is not just a bolt on affair. If it was, everybody would be running 335s.

Will also take trades on the following 03 Cobra parts, plus cash:

Heat exchanger mounting brackets
Intercooler pump bracket
Intercooler reservoir w/cap
Intercooler reservoir hoses

Would you be interested in trading for a pair of MT 315s? Doubt you would but figured I'd ask

 

[ledfoot85]

Nope, I already bought 15" wheels with some cash I had saved up for the earnest money for our house we are trying to buy. I just need to sell these to get that cash back for when we have to put down the earnest money.

Hmmm I want to say those tires would fit on mine with just the spacers, I'll research it and let you know. If you were closer I'd just stop by and try to throw them on real quick to check. I'm interested though for sure.

its been done before. with spacers, they should fit , buddy had them on 10.5 03 cobra wheels with spacers with no problems. ( with IRS ) all you prolly need is a 1/4 inch spacer to clear the irs bolt.

BTW, I found the center caps for the wheels. They are black with a 3d chrome snake inset inside of them.
