New Wheels & Tires for The Cobra- Pics

[BLK03SVT]

Well almost three months after I ordered them my wheels and tires finally came in this week. I'm really happy with the way they look, and even more happier with the grip! I'd like to thank the guy that invented DR's- wow, second gear is no longer worthless! Now I'm sure I'll grenade the rear end soon.

I really have to figure out what I need to do to drop the rear of the car to match the front. Right now I have the eibach pro kit w/stock irs. Any suggestions? Here's a few pics, let me know what you think.
Front: 275/35/18 Nitto 555's
Rear: 305/35/18 Nitto 555 DR's

Looks GREAT.

But looking at it closer I see what you are saying about the back sitting slightly higher than the front. Doesn't really make any sense considering its a vert you have more weight in the rear of the car??? I don't get it. But the wheels look KICK ASS

Thanks! I can see how the front of the car would have more weight, given the engine is in the front. I just need about 3/4" drop in the rear to level the car out. It looks great when my fat a** is in the back seat!

I meant the rear has more weight than a coupe would. My vert looks great with my big ass in the back too.... To other people... I personally hate the look

For sure, I see what you mean. I guess I'm going to have to start dating some heavier women and make them sit in the back! LOL

Like you I just hate that rake look. Sort of like cars back in the 80's. I wonder if removing the isolators would help, or would that make the ride worse?

Date a regular girl, but make sure she has fat friends to sit in the back.

I personally like that look, sooner or later I wanna get 19s or 18s for the front of my car so it sits with the sorta hot rod stance.

Mike - I took close-up photos of your wheels when I was out at Speedworld. Until I post them, here's the image from the site you referred me to.
