Hey I am in the middle of building the suspension on my 2003 mustang cobra that has a sra in in it with 3.73 gears, I will be doing a MM front coilover kit with stock bilsteins, CC plates, MM XL subframes, upper and lower torque boxes, already have j&m upper and lower control arms with the lower being a weight jacker which can be adjusted to 2 inch raise or 1 inch drop, the rear shocks are strange 10 way adjustable, running 17x7 darkstars front and 15x10 rear with 6.25 BS so question is what size tires would look nice on this that I could lower some and still look mean with some sidewall? and any other suspension parts I could add while I am into it? thanks for any input

Most have a bs of 6.5 will run a 315 or 325 size tire. With 6.25 bs a 325 would probably stick out. Definitely need to roll the fenders if you plan to lower it on 28” tall tires and 325 wide.

That car looks sweet I love your set up, I am thinking about a 275/60/15 maybe in a nitto 555r or maybe even a 295/55/15..... I plan on rolling the fender some if I need to not worried about that I will just buy a eastwood roller. What is your front tire size? How does it ride on the street?

Yea I think the 295/55 are about an inch wider than the 275/60s, so I guess its a hard call. What size tires are you guys running on the fronts considering the rears will be 28 inches? I am just trying to get it right the first time so that way I dont go too small or too big..
