Getting a decent thermostat off summit,
180 degree is the right one to run oem?

Buying new wheels and rubber,
Have 17" 255s all around,
What would you run on your 95gt with sportline springs.

Thanks

OEM is 195 but 180 will be fine.

OEM size for the 94-04 is 245/45/17 except for the 94/95 Cobra that got 255/45/17. The rims were the same size though, no idea why Ford made the 94/95 Cobra tires a little bigger but they did. Either size works.

Only reason I run a 180 in the 2V is because of the ******* thin plastic manifold coolant passage right the hell under the tstat housing. Anything I can do to keep the fluid going through there cooler I will to a point. For a pushrod, the OEM spec is just fine.

If you want, its up to you. I've always run staggered but a set of 9" wide wheels all around with some 265 or 275s on it is good too. You can spacer out the back to make the wheels flush with the fender.

2000 Cobra R but they aren't carried by any of the places anymore. Honestly there are so many pics you can just google to your hearts content.
