Default What wheels for a black '98?

I currently have enkei wheels on my black 1998 cobra, but I think i want a wider tire, so wider wheels. I'm already running 275s on the rear, but that's on a 7" (I think) width. I guess my first question is can I fit 10.5" on the rear with 305/315s? and if so, does anyone have pics of a black sn-95 with any kind of aftermarket wheel?

here's my cobra currently:

315s will fit fine with a 10.5 inch rim in back....i have that combo on my 94...looks mean from behind...one thing to consider is there isnt many tires that are 315s other than..cheap.sumitomos....or expensive pretty much everything else...unless u want a d/r....then theres some that arnt too bad....but i have sumis on mine....sometimes they stick decent...most the time tho...theyll spin...but for like 108 for a 315 tire...i cant complain....millage wasnt absolutly terrible considering i put quite a few burnouts on them....as for rim choice...i know theyre used a lot but the saleen replicas from like americanmuscle or wherever look pretty good in chrome in my opinion....and u can get 9 and 10 inch for thestagered effect....its up to u ...i have chrome cobra rs....and sure i like them...but ya..now i wish i would have gone something different...like chrome fr500s lol...its all ur choice

Yeah, I was thinking about 3 different rim style, either saleen replicas, 95 cobra r's or 2003 cobra's. I really like the saleens but i'm not sure I want to go with 18s, and they pretty much only come in 18".

a kid in the town like 10 miles away from me has a blue 94 5.0 with the saleens...18x9 all way around...they look really goodto me...it kinda narrows up the wheel well gap without having to lower it....lowered the car would look really really good....it may seem like 18 is big..but once on the car u wont hardly notice the inch difference....so if it were me id do saleens....but its not so what ever u want is what you should get...it is ur car after all...good luck

i think you should go with some 17x9 fronts and 17x10.5 deep dish on the back. either some black bullits with a polished lip, or they are now making deep dish 03 cobra rims if you can find some of them. i think that will give a good look on your car. im a big fan of the staggered with the deep dish on the back.

i like the idea of throwin the wider 10.5 on the rear and 9 inch up front. looks awesome and anything wide on the back looks sweet
