Have a 15x10 and 17x4.5 upfront. What size tires are u guys running out back and front? Car is a 03 cobra 500whp stock 3.55. Heard running 28s in the rear will slow me down at my power lvl. If u have pics please post them. Thanks

28x10.5S. Yes, a 28 will slow you down, it’s noticeable. I had 3.55’s when I put my 28 radials on and noticed. Went to a 3.73 quickly after, now 4.10. Id probably run a 26” with that gear.

My car made 610 and I had a 28” tire on it. Went back to a 26” tire and it feels like a whole new car lol

With that power and gear you should run 26s in the back, but 28's sure look better....and it's all about looking good

You should most definitely run a 26 inch tall tire with your set up. Just do your research on proper compound and tire pressure and ambient air temperature also plays a factory. Do you have any thing done to your rear suspension set up?

Thanks. Will be ordering ftbr or maximum motor sports bushings and a 26in tire soon. Hoping to run mid to high 11s w my set up
