Re: 427 cobra rims and tires

not really sure what class the cobra falls under, but heres the run down.

bodies are broken up into 3 categories: narrow/normal, med: (front/back) med/med or med/wide, or wide: wide/wide

logically, narrow rims can fit on all of them, but it looks stupid. med rims CAN fit on normal bodies but can sometimes cause rubbing. wide are only for wides. now, normal tires wont have as much surface area so in return there will not be as much traction as med and wide tires. narrow seems to have a pushing effect around tighter corners due to this. while wider tires will have better grip and traction and stability. logically, the wider the tire, the better the traction.
