Looks like cooper has expanded their cobra tire line. I swear they only sold 225 and 245 back in the day. Earl says 295? Damn son!

My 295 Cobras are damn near the exact width as my old 275 radial T/A's.  The tread itself is a lot wider but the actual tire width is the same.  I'm running factory wheels that were widened and given an extra 1/4BS over stock with alum drums.  I've never verified the BS but if Jim did what I asked for the centerline of my rim should have moved outward 1/4" plus the extra 1/8" for the drums totaling 3/8" to the outside.


...just a hair under 2.5 beer can's per tire.

You might want to look at the tire rack's (or whoever lists actual dimensions) website and compare the 275's you're looking at to what you actually have now.


The really cool thing about the Cobra's is they are audible when spinning in the rain. I dove my GN to the post orifice earlier and it sounding like I was killing basset hounds running 60 while a little bit sideways.

Boooy you can dish it......what you said wrong was that GN wheels would look neat on the monty. You shoulda seen my stink face when I read that. Then I was like fuck it, he's already a dick, bolt them bitches on then. Just don't be sensitive and take it seriously, your not always a dick...just sometimes.

Oh, and since this thread is over anyways seeing the OP fullfilled his needs...
Ahh the fun days...it was mostly trash talking. That's it. I always picked my arguments carefully with SW. The guys unbeatable, Zap too, lol. What makes it awesome are the PMs that were sent between parties involved. It's looks worse than it really was, I don't think im not cool with any of the old guys. Hey, could you find the post where SW said I fucked sheep AND my follow up post of my "sheep". Steve, remember that? lol

With regard to your signature, if you have to tell people that something is cool, then it is definitely not cool.

[Be4u]

So your saying your not cool?

I just think the reverse mount deep dish turbine wheels look great.  After all, there is still a chance that the Monte could have a turbo V6 in it (an LFX).  But, yes a black Monte Carlo with GN wheels just adds to the confusion.

Your gunna catch heat putting a v6 in it, 9 people outta 10 are going to be like "blah v8 bla bla 350".

What happened?  Earl threaten to release the failed porno flick where you failed to rise to the occasion?

BTW, Earl runs Mini-Coopers under the rear end of his car not those peanut hydro-planing donuts that you want to run.

I am dreading the possibility of going to the local car show tonight with the wagon, and the "fun" questions which will follow:

Who built this?
Can you build me one?
What is it?
How much did it cost you?
Who tuned it?
Will you tune mine?
Can I have your babies?

Lol Steve you cought me. The only reason I failed to rise is cuz I had to go to work. $ over (/).

You can safely hold your breath for this to happen
