I got them off ebay from AFS wheels, only $504 dollers! The shipping raped me, $80 from riverside california to tempe, arizona. Its only like a 6hr drive but they have a no pickups policy. :thumbdown:

Dude you would've wasted as much in gas, so it's not a bad deal for shipping...
How wide are they?

I had kumho tires on the mustang I had before my 00 GT. great in rain, snow, pretty much any thing the weather could throw at it. When summer time comes around i'll be replacing my rear rims with 10.5's and new kumho rubber

245 to keep your speedo in check. you'll need some type of tuner or something, to change the computer settings, if you want to use larger rear tires.

This is the tire you need. Kumho ECSTA supra (http://www.kumhousa.com/TireSelect/TireSize.asp?width=245&ratio=45&diameter=17)

Check out tires.com, they have good prices, and I believe free shipping. I have a set of the Hankook's Ventus K102's on my car. P225/45's in the front, and P265/40's in the back.

eh, I'm not the hugest fan of chrome but that's because I had a red stang and I just never thought that red and chrome belonged together (except for Fireman over on SN). I think they'll look sharp on blue though. Personally, I ended up getting a set of OEM 18X9.5 Silver 00 R's with 285 Kumho 712's shipped for $1550 from www.gefracing.com

For tires: Kumho Ecsta 245/40 all around.

Those are decent tires. I used them on my SVX for a while.
They were replaced by my local Discount Tire to Yokohama AVS ES100's (free of charge due to a mistake they made during my prior visit)... Much better tire, same price range.
If you will be doing a lot of spirited driving, go with the ES100's, otherwise the Ecsta's will do just fine (and might be cheaper).
I have the Kumho Ecsta's as well... excellent tires.

I think you should go with 275/40s front and rear. That is what the 03 and 04 Cobras have on them. I had 275/40s on my 17x9 03 Cobra wheels before I got new wheels.

Did you just go with the replicas that are 10.5 on the back? I still don't understand why SVT made the decision to use 9" all around... It's kind of weird seeing 275/40's on the front, and the Terminator Cobras definitely need 335's on the back! damn wheelhop and traction loss...

My wheels were the actual Ford SVT wheels. 17x9s front and rear.

When I was running street tires I was running 245/40 Nitto 555's and 285/40's Nitto 555's on the rear. Then switched to 275/40 Nitto DR's before going with the new weld setup. The 555 non drag radials wore very well and hooked hard.
