After doing searches on all the old threads and seeing what sizes people appeared to be using (and fit best) I opted for a set of '95 Cobra R chromies w/ 275/40-17 GS-D3's on them from the Tire Rack. I installed the left front and immediately became alarmed when it was obvious the tire was going to stick out way beyond the fenderwell.
I was not expecting it because I hadn't seen anyone mention it. I can't see how I could lower the car and not experience a rubbing issue. I know I've seen 04's with the the same tire and wheel (offset) and did not see the fronts stick out 1"+ beyong the wheel well.
Is my newbie-ness showing (I have ugraded wheel/tire combos before on other cars) or was this to be expected? I was so looking forward to them and now I'm ready to sell or return them... sigh. Thoughts (besides you're an idiot) anyone? ;-)
