Well sold my Forgestars F14s to Blueline, in looks of getting a new setup. Still love the forgestars, but needed something a little different more tailored to how I plan on using the car (a street/strip setup). I wanted the setup to be clean and street-able while still putting the power down without issue. So I ended using the popular choice...Weld Racing. Here's some pics of the setup...enjoy!

Both sets look great on your cobra. What size rims and what did you do to get that to fit on the IRS?

15x10 6.5 BS w/ 275-50-R15 MT ET Street Radials. It is an IRS car.

Updated OP with a picture of the grinding needed for proper fitment.

Awesome... Makes me want to go back to a drag setup now lol.
Hey Jim, thanks again for the front runners. Came out great!

Let us know how much different the traction is for you.
I am sure it will be night and day!:rockon:

Looks great Nick! I was gonna stop by earlier to look at it but I'm beat lol
Thanks Sean, I am exhausted as well. Productive weekend getting both the truck and car back on the ground.

Supa Fly!! Really love the look of those rims and the RT-S. I have thought about buying another set of rears and putting DR's on them. Really don't feel comfortable driving on the slicks all the time.

I think I found my big and little setup! I'd like to know what fabrications had to be done for this?

Looks killer Op!
