Will there be major rubbing if I put a 275/40/17 sized tire (on a 17x9 cobra r wheel)at the front of a sn95 cobra (with h/r street springs)? I know it might look like a "frog" in front, but I am just concerned with wheel well rubbing and more grip for the front... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I'm sure it'll fit, but the only thing is how low those spring made the car...I had stock Cobra 17x8's with H&R's Sport spings and it would rub the fender with 245's....Maximum Motorsport actually gave me a refund on my springs 'cause they seemed a lot lower than most SN95's...With an Eibach Pro-kit I had no problems with 245's, but I wasn't supposed to..hehe
What tires are you running now and how much clearance do you have?....Is your car "raked" or seem lower at the front than the back?....

I have the h&r supersports with 17x9 03 cobra rims and 275/40 up front on my 96 and I dont rub at all, and like you said it looks a bit funny up front, but it handles great so I dont complain much. I think next time I get tires I will go 255 though for the looks.
