Best way is to BORROW someone's wheels/tires and do an exact fit. The Cobra R's come in R58 and M179 with 5.95 and 6.45 backspacing.

I personally run 275-40-17's on 9-1/2" wheels, but that took a LOT of work!!!
Darius is right. dont bother lowering lower than 1.5 for the street. i have a hard time entering driveways with my car lowered on the b springs.

Darius, when can i get a ride in your MACHINE ?
