Wheel and tire size?

I was thinking about pcking up a set of Cobra R's for my mountaineer. 17s are very cheap right now with everyone going larger. I would too if money was free! hahaha.

Anyone know what size tire fills the wheel well on a stock height 2wd?

Thanks, Greg

I am not sure...I have 17in cobra's on my ranger with 235/45/17 tires and they would not fill up your space as they are low profile

Yours looks great, My truck is the Montery edition, equivalent to the Eddie Bauer. It has the running boards etc. Low pros just don't look right. I slapped a set of R's on from my Buddy who had nice wide tires from his Cobra replica and the wheel looks great but not enough tire height.

I was also thinking about Lightning style wheels. I seen a website that offered my bolt pattern in a replica wheel but I no longer know the site. Damn it!

Wow timmy, not sure where you are going here but ok! :werd: On a smaller suv 18's, or 20's are a good choice in my book. That and they are priced right.
