I was thinking of using 17" x 10" rear wheels but I did notice at Wakefield last yr that a few people were running 17" x 11" with 335 tyres. Can your tyres & wheels be too big? Considering the weight of a cobra, is there a point at which increasing the width of a tyre will actually reduce overall grip b/c the reduced pressure per square inch (increased patch area in contact with the road) is not compensated with the increase in tyre grip?

Or should we all be trying to fit the biggest, badest, coolest looking wheel/tyre combo that will fit

They're some bad a$$ed wheels you've got there Mike

Cheers
