I just bought some 4 lug cobra Rs from a buddy with a 90. The wheels are in decent shape little rash here n there but I got a great deal on them.

He gave me the wheels with 2 matching tires that are 225 somthings and 2 different tires that are 230 somthings.

Anyways, I plan on replacing the 2 rear tires, I am going to just go cheapos but my friend gave me a free pair of brand new Kumhos that may work.

***The question is, will 275/40/17s fit on my Cobras? And most of all will this combo fit under the wheel well of my car? I dont approve of rubbing very much so I would prefer to go without.

Should I just sell these tires? Should the replacements be 230 also? Or just match the fronts at 225??

Thanks in advance!

275 will be fine in the rear on a 9" rim

I always ran 275-40-17 on the rear, and 245-45-17 in the front on my 17x9 cobras.
