Alright what are you guys running and what offset for the 275 tires?

On my cobra I have 17x10 square but there is a lot of rubbing, or there was. Inner fenders are all worn through at contact points.

Rules limit you to 17*9.5

Seems like the MB weapons from discount tire was a solid choice but not sure if those are available anymore. I think Jerry is running some new brand of wheel.

You can also get some enkei RPFs but have to permanently attached a wheel spacer to get up to the minimum wheel weight.

I'll let a msutang guy chime in

I think the new MB wheel is called battle.

Yep. 17" x 9.5" $155.00 each up from $135.00 last year. I also had a $50.00 off code but none exist now that I can find.

While $20 a wheel increase is significant that is still not a bad price. The other car is way worse.

Tyler if they except my offer I will be in touch. Thanks.

I have had good luck with all of the MB wheels I have run over the last 10 years.
The Battle is good being a 17x9.5 but is a little heavy. I like that you can buy them in black so no painting needed and the good offset means not having to run much spacer.

A couple questions about wheels for the sn95.
The battles come in 15 and 30mm offset. The wheels for the cobra are 24mm offset so I am guessing I want the 30mm. I will find out what spacer I need if any.
Is there any real gain to be had by getting 9.5 vs. 9.0?

Every little bit counts!

Yes it does when added up.

I wish I could find them for $155.

Looks like $100 rebate as well.

I *think* I have +15mm offsets and I ran a .25" spacer on each side at MSR-H, however the wheels I ran were 9" wide.

I think I need 30mm. My other car has 24. I need to get some tires dismounted so I can take some measurements and see what the other wheels are.

looks like another $60 if you use a discount tire credit card which would bring the total under 500 for a set. Pretty good deal.

That's how I buy all my street vehicles tires. Discount generally does sales on holiday weekends so buy a full set to get $100 off and use their credit card for another $60.

I still remember when somehow they gave everyone tax free on the back to school weekend.

Got myself new truck tires, trailer tires, and hoosiers all on the same weekend.

I don't recall the required specs (backspace/offset) for a 17x9 wheel in an SN95...

Would the new Konig Ampliforms (https://konigwheels.com/wheels/flow-formed-wheels/ampliform/)work?

17×9
5×114.3
Offset:25
Center bore: 73.1
Projected weight:18.76

Are Flow Formed wheels up to the abuse of racing?

I was Discount Tire the other day and decided to ask why so few of the battle's around. They called MB and they have been discontinued, soon to be replaced with something else.

So we first had "weapons", that lead to "battles". The next wheel will be either called "death" or "peace"...

I'm thinking the MB Revolt is the new wheel. This is a 9.5" wide with a +15 offset (so wider stance). Only $85 each!

24lbs each, so roughly the same as the weapon's I've got.

No, I think John's got them. I'll be getting RPF1s this year for sure.

Wrong offset to make the 18lb minimum :(

I can get them up to 17.something with spacers before going over track width on the fox. If it was an sn95 or newer I could probably make it work. Richard has been harassing me to buy them for a while now anyway.
