Won't 315s hit the rear cradle bolts? I don't know if you have the IRS still.

nope they clear just fine. I think you have the thread about some one putting 16" wheels on there cobra mixed up with tire choice

I have used 315 on cobras since jan of 2003

Talk to Mickey, tell him I sent you lol :icon_cool:
I think they make the 315 DR you are looking for

Do you guys use less expensive DRs in the summer since the pavement is HOT here, even at night? I would think I could get away with a Nitto DR in the summer since traction shouldn't be that big of an issue. Anyone?

I think they make a 335, that should work for you, the Nittos run small.

I don't know they may be a little big my back rim is 10in have you seen a 335 fit under a cobra? if so that would be nice and prob look good...

I'm not sure how well they'd fit on a 10" rim. The tire will stick out past the wheel a bit. Nitto recomends at least an 11.5" wheel and their 335 runs like 13.2" where as the BFG 315 runs a bit over 12.5" if I remember correctly (I believe the BFG's are the widest 315?), so it is definitely a wider tire. I've heard of guys running the Nittos without a spacer but i'd have a 3/8" spacer on hand just to be safe.

I'll see if I can find any pic of someone running a Nitto 335 on a 10" rim

Back in the day I ran a 315 BFG Dr on my stock 17's with no problems, but that was back in the day, so I don't know if they would still fit.
