Its interesting you can legally go up to 9" wide in WA. Here in Vic 8" is the limit (ie 1" wider than the widest available option rim from new - 15x7 Globes).

I gave serious thought to putting these on my coupe.
It's not that we can go up to 9" wide, the law states +30% over original.
As the stocks are 7", 30% increase of that is close enough to 9".

Had a look on the Tempe Tyres website and they don't list US Racing as a brand. Found another couple of places that list them in Aus.
Anyone dealt with Wheelworx or Ozzy tyres before?

Being a Cobra coupe, it already attracts a fair bit off attention and with a twin-turbo Boss 351, I don't want the police to have any extra ammo to sticker it
