gonna depend on the tire.... Ray has squeezed 315 Sumitomo's on his wheels, but other 315's on the market may not fit....

sumi and nitto make a very very narrow 315, almost looks like a 275 or a 285. goodyear makes a true 315 and i doubt they would fit a stock cobra wheel. Ive got a pic floating around somewhere to show the difference

The 315 Sumitomo's fit, but bulge a good bit. I liked the look, but some don't. 315 Nitto's look pretty good on there too. Unfortunately they don't make much in between a 275 and a 315. I think something like a 295 would be perfect. Here's some pics of the Sumi's...

315 Sumitomo or Nitto are your only options. I put a ton of research into this and ended up going with 10.5 cobra rims and BFG KW 315. I also needed spacers and the lowprofile bolt.
