15" tire choices

[Silverback51]

Don't have a picture, but I did see one with 20's on it.

Looked like crap in my opinion.

Even with 15's, Cobra's don't ride like a Lexus. I've got to assume that as the sidewall gets smaller, the ride has to get progressively worse.

20's?

Not so fast. Read here:

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."

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.
