The Right Tyres.

I was hoping you guys could let me know if the following tyre sizes would be OK for the Cobra!

FRONT 255/50/ZR17 on a 8" rim which has a 27" diameter.
.
REAR 285/40/ZR17 on a 10" rim which has a 26" diameter.

Im fine with the fronts being an inch higher than the rears because I want the front of the car to sit up.

Regards.

I would go smaller on the front or bigger on the rear or it will look a bit funny.

I went with Sumitomo
245 45ZR 17 on 8.5" rim front
315 35ZR 17 on 10.5" rim rear
both are 25.7 diameter

I think your right cobber, your car looks spot on with the Sumitomos. I would prefer the fronts to be higher but cant seem to find anything to do the job. I was looking through your gallery the other day and love the work youve done up to now. Im always green when I see those beautiful rims. well done.

Regards.
