The back of the Cobra. 315/35/17 on the 11.5x17 FR500 wheels. The fronts are 275/40/17 on a 9x17 wheel.

They are already on.

New tire day was great, I had to make sure I got my money's worth out of the old ones:

Did you notice that the 275 x 40 x 17 seemed a bit on the narrow side? I went Square on my build and they seem to be a bit on the narrow side compared to other 275s. Just as well as I don't have the power to turn over the 3:15. LOL

Are those tires wide or are your hands small?

If those were for the front I'd let you in. 335's are the starting point for the big tire club in the back .

Opposite, actually. The new 275's are a solid inch wider at the tread than the old ones. These measure right at 11" on the tread mounted up. The backs measure at 13"!

They are wonderful hands, in fact everyone is always telling me how great they are, the best really, just the best.

Shhhh!!! It doesn't know it's a Mustang. Ford only put Cobra emblems on it, it doesn't say Mustang anywhere. If it knew it was a Mustang, it would have 3 people, the building, and the forklift.

Gotta love huge meats!

that said, you may regret going wide rear, narrower front. These cars are something like 57% front weight with a roll axis inclination that makes them understeer even worse.

I used to run 275 square with V710's, but I got tired of swapping tires and paying the Rcomp prices.

Make 315 square happen!!!

In reply to Apexcarver:

I own staggered wheels, and it's too much to buy and fit a square setup instead. I thought about a square 275 on 18x9's, but that would have been about $1200 more than this, all in. We'll see, these probably won't last more than a season or two anyways.

Typical male. Claim a typo but really caught overstating the size of his stagger.
That or trying to over compensate for those little hands.
