New Wheels for the True Blue GT

[Styrofoam04]

Well, technically not new..

While trolling Kijiji for an Cat-Back exhaust since mine have a broken baffler and it rattles. I found a deal I couldn't pass up.

I bought 6 Rims with tires for the price of 4 rims no tires! I saw the ad and sent him an email right away to come see them. I also asked about the tread depth. He told me he was throwing the tires in for free and mainly just selling the rims.

I never make offers over phone or email. It has to be in person. His price was soo good he ended up having alot of interest in them. But I contacted him first and he honored that which I thought was pretty cool.

I went expecting Bald tires and curb rash for the price. I was soo happy with what i saw

4 Cobra R Style 17X9 with 275's all around. 2 have 5/32" depth (BFGoodridge Super sport). The other 2 have 3/16-7/32" (BFGoodridge sport)

Bonus... 2 Cobra R Style 17x10.5 with 315/35r17 BFGoodridge T/A Drag Radials with about 3/32" tread






I ended up talking to the guy for about and hour, Hes a really nice guy with 03 Cobra and a GT. Thesewheels were from his cobra. He mostly had the the staggerd config. He selling them because he want to go back to stock 03 cobra. I Tried convincing him to join TMC. I aslo Tried to convince him to come out to TMP Track day. He seems interested but prolly needs a push lol.

Oh forgot the best part. after talking to him for a bit and telling him that I was actually looking for an exhaust and I pretty much blew my budjet on his rims. He told be that he has a Magnaflow Cat-Back sitting in storage. He bought it for the GT which his daughter drives But She didn't like Them. So he switch to Flowmaster. Only had them on the car for a month.

I'll be picking them up sometime soon. So Kijij Was a major Win for me.

Chrome should look good on the true blue.

You going to use these on your street setup? Or use them for the track?
hint hint: 4 RC tires, 2 drag radials

[Styrofoam04]

Few questions

Does anyone know anything about BFgoodridge Super sport tires? The owner prefered them to Nittos 555.
For the RC is it betted have the 4 275s over the staggered?
Will the 275s rub? The car is lowered 1.5"

They say at 3/32 tread that I should consider changing them. Is that the same for Drag Radials? will they last this season? around 5000km?
Googling them say they are DOT cert. So are they actually good for street? Will i need 1" spacer for these?
