On a related note....when the heck are they finally gonna re-pop Gatorbacks in the correct OE size for us '93 Cobra guys??? I thought someone on the board said this was supposed to happen years ago?

Yeah...these tires need to be made. They would work for 1993 Cobra, 1993 Cobra R, all 94-04 GT's (with 17") 1994 Pace Car, 1994 Festival Car, 1997 Woodward Dream Cars, 1999 35th Anny Cars, 2000 Spring Edition, 2001 Bullitt, 2003 Mach 1, 2004 Mach 1 etc. They should also make the 16" tires for the SVO and the 225/55/16 ZR55 for the 91-93 pony wheels. No other tire ever looks right on a car that came with Gatorbacks from factory. Hope this happens someday.

They just last longer and handle better.

As I read my list of cars, I am starting to think that the 94 Place car got the Eagle GSC, another cool looking tire.

What happens if you do not put the GT rotors on the front?
They rub on the fender or just do not look right?

The offset on the '93 cobra is different than a GT or an LX. The wheels won't fit properly without swapping the front rotors

Just an FYI for anyone doing a search on this topic, I purchased a new set of silver Cobra replica wheels, GT drilled rotors, and 245-45-17 Nittos in front along with 275-40-17 Nitto 555's on the rear. They fit great and look outstanding. My car is lowered and they do not rub and fit the wheel wells pretty nicely: I didn't have to remove or flip the quad shocks either. In case anyone is curious how well the 555's stick, I have a Kenne Bell with 11psi and I am very impressed with how they hook on the street. Mine is just a weekend cruiser so I probably will never be able to speak of how they are on the track, but they are great for the street.

Where are the pics?
