thinking of getting new wheels & tires-looking for opinions

05 Mustang · 04-09-2008, 02:27 PM

attached is a picture of my car currently & of the rim I am thinking about changing to..

I currently have cobra r's (20x8.5's all the way around)/ nitto 555's, but thinking about changing to something different, somethingstaggered. I am thinking about the rim you see below with toyo proxe 4's, a 20x8.5 up front with 255/35'sand a 20x10 out back with 295/30's. How do you think it would look?

Also..if someone could photo shop these wheels on my car to give me some type of idea how it would look, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks all!

+999999 Only change I would make is wider rims/tires out back if possible.

I really wish I could, but the cobra r's don't go any wider than a 20x8.5 Trust me, if I could go with a wider version of the rims I have, I would! That's what makes this decision so hard for me....I really like the rims I have, but want something wider out back.

Here's a quick config from American Racing using Redlines.

I would look around and see if you could get those widened. Those rims look great. I cant find them anywhere I would love to have those on my car in 18x8.5 and 18x10.

Someone was on here last night asking what kind of rims were in a picture. They were the cobra R rims like yours. Maybe he wants to buy them.

I have looked everywhere and had no luck finding a cobra r that is 20x10

If Iever decide what to do, I'll be selling them...probably around $800 rims & tires.

That's why I am trying to do something now, because there is a decent amount of tread left on all the tires...so whoever buys them, doesn't have to anything for a few more thousand miles...just install them and go!
