    SN95 - 10.5" Rear Wheel Tire Size

    I'm thinking about upgrading the rear wheels on the 97 cobra to 17 x 10.5, what size tire what be best?
    Would 305 be the best fit?
    Are 315's too big?

    I'm looking on line, and there doesn't seem to be too many 305 options, unless I want a mudder tire lol.

    Your choices are going to be 285/40R17 or 315/35R17. Depending on the brand and model of tire, the 315 would likely require some fender lip rolling.

    I have 315's on both mine and I think they are perfect, however I like a little bulge so...

    Anyways, these are both 17x10.5 with 315's These are DSG3's (which are an amazing tire btw...but pricey now days) which run a little wider than say, a Nitto or Sumitomo

    with a 10.5 and a 315 rear tire, you will need to remove the quad shocks on the older SN95's...which means you will need to upgrade the control arms....well atleast that's what I told my wife at the time when I upgraded.....

    I'm hoping to not have to roll the fenders ☹️

    Thanks Ghostrider. Did you have to roll your fenders?

    The car already has MM adjustable lower control arms, quads are still in place though.
