I had a set of American Muscle GT500 replica wheels and tires on my 94 GT. A friend of mine asked if he could buy them off of me. He was in need of tires and I made him a pretty good deal. I then took the OEM wheels and tires off of my 2003 Cobra and put them on the 94 GT. This freed up the Cobra for a very nice set of wheels!
I did some shopping and eventually landed on Rovos Pretorias. I was shopping during black Friday 2017 and the deals were VERY good at LMR. I bought the satin Rovos Pretorias with Nitto NT555 G2 tires mounted. The Pretorias are staggered, 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back. This means I could finally get rid of the spacer in the rear!
The tire sizes are 265/35/18 up front and 285/35/18 out back. They look AWESOME on the car. I had to do a little bit of grinding on the rear halfshaft stud to get the center cap of the rear wheel to fit, but that wasn't too bad of a task.
One problem now - with the bigger wheels and tires, the Cobra stock ride height needs to be lowered. There's a HUGE gap between the fender and the wheels now. Next up will be the Eibach Pro Kit!
