Default New Wheels

Hey guys,
I have a 1992 CR 427 and I'm looking to buy a new set of wheels and tires. I can't decide on what size wheels I should go for (16,17,18,20). Right now I have 15" Tourque Thrust wheels on it, but I'm looking for something new. I was wondering if anyone had pics of different sizes on thier Cobra, so I could see how they would look compared to what I have on there now. I would also like to know what width wheel I should get front and back, along with the backspace for each.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Dennis

I have 17" wheels on my car. For the size tires I'm running (335/35 and 275/45) there is a limited selection. They are also very expensive.

Default 17 inch Rims

But it looks awesome! What are the offsets or back spacing?

I think it is very unlikely to get 335s under a CR rear fenders without serious frame or body mods.

Sorry jdean
Low profile 17's,335 rear 325's front. Absolutely no body mod's, one very small modification to door locking bracket! Less than 10 minutes apiece!

Standard DV or DV II in full racing form!

I would go with the knock-off Vintage 15" using the Dunlop vintage tire. They are sweet and look the part........

Thanks for the specs on the wheels. Beautiful car. Those wheels and tires really set it off perfectly.
