03 Cobra wheels, getting tires, can you double check me

[93cbra]

Hey guys, looking to get Nitto NT05s for my 2002 GT on OEM 2003 Cobra wheels. 275 up front and 315 out back. I realize I’m on a 9” wheel but read 315 will fit.
Do you guys see any issues?
Sounds like this set up fits on an 03 Cobra but since I have a solid axle wasn’t sure if that changed fitiment for tires.

Wrong size.

So it looks like the irs is narrower than the solid in my GT? So the Cobra wheels will stick out further when on my GT. I wonder with 315 if it will hit the fenders. My GT is lowered with H&R SS springs.

315 isnt going to fit on that wheel. Not safely, anyway.
I ran a 295/35 for many years on an 18x9 wheel and the tires had a lot of sidewall bulge.

Ok thanks 98 svt, I read the Nitto ran very narrow for a 315 and thats how people were getting away with it. But I hear you, thanks for the reply.

I had just tried it.with new nitto 555
they fit fine.
I did tho go with oem reps 10.5 shortly after.

your has a straight axle?

Yeah I have a solid. I ended up just buying 4 275 555 G2s to play it safe. And I can rotate them.
