Is there anyone running 18's on their Cobra? If so, post a pic or two. I'd like to see it.

Don't have a picture, but I did see one with 20's on it.
Looked like crap in my opinion. |

Effects of Upsized Wheels and Tires Tested - Tech Dept. - Car and Driver |
Bigger rims are:
heavier making more noise slows the car down... Car and driver sums it up: "And remember, unless you believe it is better to look good than to feel good, take our advice and stay away from extremely low-profile sidewalls and massively heavy wheels." http://media.caranddriver.com/images...s-original.jpg |

Agreed. I saw one with 20s on it too and it was a poor application in this case. Super thin rubber band tires with no side profile height make a fat body Cobra look whimpy IMO, unless you can get a bit more tire meat on the sidewalls and stuff the whole tire under the car and drop it down to hide it some. Its too bad they stopped making wider tires for 16" wheels. It still gave a bit of the fat tire look and just a tad more wheel showing, but not too much. Still like 15s for the more 60s period fat tire look, and it rides smoother too. ;) |
Avon is the best legal street 15" tire period................IMHO of course.

While I would like the MTs, my car came with Cooper Cobras 295x50x15 and 265x50x15 in the front. I am happy with their performance, never drive in the rain so I would not know how they perfom. By the aggressive tread I would say they are fine and not a hard ride.
I am thinking of changing the 88-1953 Koni shocks for Bilsteins, anyone can tell me a replacement model # in Bilstein? tks Lou (Basque1) PS IMHO I think that anything but 15" wheels is not applicable to Cobras, just a bit of a purist. |
