    wheels...

    I am fixing to start building my cobra and i want to put 18" wheels on it. My question is size wheels do i need to get (i know i can put 18x10 on the back but i dont know how wide i can go on the front)? I would also like to know what size tires i can put on it.
    Thanks for the help,

    The Weavers just did a car with 18s. They will have the information for you.

    18"

    I have 18's on my Unique that is still in the building process. I have not seen the one Alan built but I used Maurice's recommendatiuon to call Paul Atkins for my tire/wheel combination. I used American Racing's new Cobra wheel and Kumo rubber. They look great off the car so I am looking forward to seeing the final setup. I would suggest getting Paul's info from Maurice. He will be a very good resource.

    Are you using 18x9 in the front because i was looking at the same american racing wheels and i was told that is all they offer?

    Ric,
    Your car is the one I saw with the wheels 18" wheels, I think.
    Alan posted pictures of it. Was your car a roller?

    Yes Sir

    Yes Naumoff, you have a very good memory and I am flattered. I hope to finally get the engine fired up in the next few weeks.

    Cobrapower, if you need the info, I can reply with the wheel and tire sizes.

    Good luck.
