Not Ranked
Craig,
From the photo it looks like you have more space than I did, so you may be able to fit the larger tires.
If my my memory is accurate, or if I remember correctly, I thought the original Cobras had the wheel pushed forward in the wheel arch. I do not know why this would have been done. Some Cobra fans stick with this position/location for visual correctness. Is that true fellow Cobra oficionados?
And I thought I heard that Arntz/Butler designed this offset wheel look to imulate the original. And on some of the cars produced the wheel was pushed backward?? Anyone know if this is true?
