[QUOTE="dlefever, post: 13288204, member: 128216"] Thanks for the advice, and I will definitely look for the article on max tire and rim size in MMFF. I get what you guys are saying, the bulky 40 series tire is my problem. I purchased this particular set of Goodyear F1 tires because I found a screaming deal on them on Tirerack a few weeks back, and I wanted a softer ride. Softer ride? Yup, I said that because I'm almost 50 years old. You guys just wait until you get to be my age! To answer questions about shocks and my suspension, my Cobra is set up with old school Kenny Brown Level 5 suspension including Koni shocks (only two) on the back and they are only a year old. I was running a set of Michelin 285/35/18 tires on the back before I purchased the Goodyears and there were no rubbing issues with the Michelins. I thought I would be OK with the 40 profile tire because the width of the tires (old Michelins vs new Goodyears) were exactly the same. Now I know that the profile can make a big difference. I think my best bet is to roll the lip of the rear fenders enough so that I don;t run the risk of cutting the tire but realizing that rubbing will always be a potential issue with my tires. Thanks for the advice! [/QUOTE]
