Default Tire Size for 94GT
What are the biggest set of meats I can stuff on the rear of my 94 GT without any suspension changes. Just a wheel change?

Tks

my personal recomendations are 17x9 rims like the cobra R's, and run a 245/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 out back. although you wont be able to rotate you will have nice meat out back to help hook up.

Spyder-

I currently have 4 17x8's (99 cobra rims) with 245/45/17 all the way around. Do you know if 275/40/17's will fit on a 17x8? I don't believe 99 cobra rims are made 17x9! Tks for the info Bro!

you can stuff a 17x10.5-315 in the back, the width of that size rim will meet with your fenderwell. (not past it)

the 03 cobra has 9 inch rims all around.

im running 17x8's 255/45-17 in front and 255/50-17 in the back.

I don't recommend any thing bigger than a 255 on a 8" wheel.
