Ryan,
I have 17" Cobra R's on my car (235's up front and 285's out back). The reason I didn't go with the 18" FR500's is for the exact reason George mentioned- the fronts didn't work!!
The rear was OK with my stock suspension, but because you need a bigger side wall to make the rears look right it does rub on anything but smooth roads. Unfortunately for me smooth roads do not exist in Michigan!
So that's why the FR500's were a no go for me
Thank you George for the post including measurements. Sheesh, I shoulda just asked ya over a year ago when I went through the whole ordeal.
