I ran some 285's(11.22") on 17x9 Cobras on my 92 coupe with rolled fenders, flipped quad shocks, and some inner fender "massaging" with a rubber mallet... oh yeah and I was also lowered 2". 235's up front

I also ran 275's(10.83") on 17x9 Cobras on my 91 GT with only flipping my quad shocks no fender rolling, or inner fenderwell massaging needed. That car rode on Eiback Drag Springs about 1" lower in the rear. 235's up front
