wmfateam Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 SO my car has 255's on it on factory 96 cobra rims(I believe they are 8" wide) I believe these are too wide for this rim, especially when it comes to cornering force causing the tire to want to fold over. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 As far as for racing goes or for general everyday driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 94/95 Cobras came with 255/45-17 on 17x8 so I'd say they are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlanticblue98 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah. That's the factory size ford chose for 94-95. And I have 275 on my 8 inch wide wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 im running 255/45/17 on my 17x8's and they fit good, look good. not the best for performance, shoulda gone with a 245 or 235 if i wanted to carve corners a little better. but i like em.

wmfateam Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Okay thanks, Tirerack was telling me 245 and I was planning on corners over looks/drag racing. They are 8-9 years old I have worked at a dealership for too long to think just because it has good tread it is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 the size is fine for the wheel but if it bothers you a 245/45 would be a fine replacement. but yeah that's getting to be a pretty old tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
