New rims & meats for the Cobra

[Chris Hansen]

Well, I quickly got bored with 17x10.5 Cobra wheels and BFG 315 drag radials..so I decided to switch it up and go with a little different of a rim..and little bigger of a radial..why not right?? Well, enough BS..onto some pictures.

JUST KIDDING



But seriously, I went with a set of 18x9.5 and 18x11 CCW Classics. Brushed Titanium Centers, Mirror Polished lips. Unfortuantly I only have the rears here, and they're not on yet because NO ONE IN THIS STATE CARRIES A 1/4 WHEEL SPACER. But here's a couple teaser pictures.

Amazing.

That's gonna look great!

345/30/18 BFG G-Force T/A tires. 5/16th spacer and a lot of BFH.

No fancy shots, just a couple pictures from the parking lot at work.

Car looks great with that big tire on it.

 

[SuperStang90]

Thats wayyyy too much wheel on the back of that car. Your new name is Mexi(mexican) Hansen :lol:

 

[Chris Hansen]

Took a couple cell pics looking down the side from the front and top view. They stick out about 1/2" or so. Going to spend some time this weekend and see if I can get them to fit without the spacer.

I lov the wheels but they stick out to much, look kinda finny from the rear or is it me?

I agree, doesnt look right.

 

[Chris Hansen]

Pics of how far they stick out above ^

 

[cjmatt]

got a pic of the passenger side? looks liek it sticks out farther over there. get em tucked under and itd be sweet, too far out though right now

 

[smooth]

It just looks strange because half of the tread pattern is outside of the rear cover, if they can be tucked in more it would be sweet!!

You know, after you said that I went out and looked at it, and it does..by a noticable amount. Wtf..why would it stick out a lot more on the pass side? Could the IRS not be in the car square somehow?

 

[Crazzy_Al]

Looks good from the side, but not feeling the rear view.

 

[Got9lbs]

Very nice how much did they set you back? If you were closer I would tell you to stop by I could make you a set of 1/4" or 1/8" spacers.

 

[hooray for farva]

need to know exact rear wheel dimensions backspace etc .if you wouldnt mind ? or if you know them off hand . .. im currently looking into wheel fitment for one

i like the width you got . but were lookin to go an inch narrower on the lip side . with a rolled lip it would let us fit nearly that much in the wheelwell ..

soooooooooooooo hows the hook? hows the halfshafts taken it ?

 

[orangejuiced86]

That tire is alittle much IMO. But if you are happy. Run with it.

 

[FlyLike]

I like the cobra wheels better

18x11 with 6.75" backspace 3.5" outer shells and 7.5" inner shells. Havn't really launched it with them. Did a little dry hop with them pulling down my driveway, but that's about it,

I agree it looks like it sticks out a lil too much, but if you can get it to be flush it will look amazing.
