cobrakidz Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I am looking at finally getting new wheels for my 66 GT350, what size tire are you running? I would like to get the original Cragars since they were on my car new, then lower it a bit. I have seen 225/50/15 and it looks good, just thought I would see what you have had luck with. Thanks.

I am running 215 60 R15 using the stock suspension / height on my tribute driver. I am using BF Goodwrinch T/A's wrapped around American Racing Torque Thrust D's . I have a little rubbing in the rear going over train tracks / dips when I go over them fast. Also,front tires rub a little going down at the bottom of my drive way with the tires turned all the way. Are you going with 225/50/15 all the way around. If so, let me know how it works. I might have to increase the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrakidz Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) I was looking at 15x7 with 225/50 all the way around--I have seen it and it looks good. My second choice is a Vintage Wheel Works 5 spoke, 16x7 and 16x8 with 225/50 tires. Thanks for your info. BTW, I saw your car at Bob's the night before Knott's--I had my 2000 Cobra R there.

I remember, your Cobra R looked awsome. She should be a keeper. Did it have the IRS in it. My brother owns a 2003 Term. Cobra, bought it new. I have driven it a few times before he moved to Oregon, and I thought that car was powerful with sweet handling. I sure miss driving it..

cobrakidz Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Both Cobras have the IRS--both handle awesome too. I think I am going to order the 16x7 all the way around, I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrakidz Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I ended up buying the Vintage 40 wheels, 16x7. I'll post pics as soon as I get them on the car and get it lowered. I am trying to get it all together for the Sonoma Historics June 4/5 at Sears Point--I would like to drive it there and park in the Shelby parking corral.

Denstang65 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Put the new whs/tires on and got the front end lowered--finally. I like. Thank you for the photo. I might do the same when I need a new set of tires. That will be about a year and a half from now. By the way, your 66 looks sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
