These are by far the best performing drag radial I have ever seen. I just replaced the GSD3's with them the other day and they hook like crazy. Anyone who doesn't drive in the rain should give these a shot. My GSD3's broke loose at 70 on the highway the other day in 3rd at WOT and scared the s*** out of me and these Hoosiers hook in second with no problem :pinkthumb:

Here are some pics, I decided to go with the white lettering out to give it a more agressive look. I like :woot1:

Not too many mods to the rear.
Still running IRS, 3/8" spacers, AFS 10.5" wheels

I have not lowered the car nor have I shaved the IRS bolts. I have no problems with the tires rubbing with this set up, and these tires are WIDE.

When I had my IRS I was running 305/35/18s with a stock set up IRS, with no issues

Thanks for the compliments guys

You can more than likely fit a 315 on there with the spacer like I did, although there are many guys running 315's who had to shave the IRS bolts to allow for the clearance, or just go with the low profile MM bolts. If your Cobra is lowered you will have an ever better chance of getting them to fit on there with no issues, I am at stock height.

If you have to replace the bolts it will only take less than 1 hour. Put the ones on the GT on the Cobra and call it good.

alright thanks for the input you guys, im going to have to buy some 3/8 spacers on. I guess whoever buys my GT is stuck with the stock wheels!!:sticktonge:
