I have a 03 cobra with front k-member and coilovers. I running pretty low in the front. Have afs 17" wheels 10.5 in back with 555 315's drag and I think I have 17x9 in front. Currently running a Continental 255/40/17 in front. Looking for new fronts and thinking of 555's. I don't want to go smaller than I have now and I'm afraid of the Nitto's running smaller than the Continental's in the same size. Would not mind a little wider but don't want to go to a 275 or taller than what I have now. Suggestions?

Thanks for the post. Continental doesn't list a "measured" width for the 255/50R17 ExtremeContact DW (I'm assuming this is the tire you are running) Nitto does make the NT555 in the 255/50R17 size and according to their sizes and specs charts this tire is 10.16" wide and 25" tall when mounted on a 9" wide wheel. Will this work for you?
