New wheels are on!!
I finally got my Cobra R's on today. Rubbing does not seem to be an issue. It has only happened once and that was at full turn going over a curb into a driveway. Normal driving doens't cause any rubbing so far. Here is what I ended up with:
17x9 wheels on all corners 255/45/17 Sumitomo HTR+'s out back 235/45/17 tires in the front The car looks awesome! I am trying to get a buddy to bring his digital camera over so I can get some pics up for you guys and gals!

Yep, would be nice to see some pictures. I love Cobra R's.
Why did you only go to 255's out back? Why not 275's? |

I have all the pics ready to go, but for some reason MW hasn't emailed my password so that I can set up my website here. I tried to do it last night, but still haven't gotten an email with my password. I posted in the site feedback to try and get it sent to me. As soon as it does, I will get the pics up.

This shows the new headlights a little and the Maaco paint job. I also repainted the black trim around the doors myself. Overall, i think it turned out pretty good.

The only old pic I have was scanned in. The quality isn't great, but here it is.
I also have new tailpipes that will be on shorty with the polished stainless tips. The current chrome tips have seen better days.

I will lay off putting any more pics in here. They are all the same, just from different angles. If you would still like to see a few, I can email them to you.
Oh, as to why I got 255's rather than 275's. Well, I had 275's on there before and got a little bit of a rub when I had people in it. I just didn't want to worry about that and figured the 255's look just as good. I thought the 275's almost made my car look a little trashy.....like I was trying to look fast and they belonged on a beat up Camaro or somthing . Plus, in the snow the skinnier tires may help just a little.
