    Wall boarding tires - sticker or stencil?

    I have decided to wallboard my Cooper Cobra tires on my MKIII cobra. I have 15 inch rims and 235/60 up front and 295/50 in the back (Black wall is facing out). I’m trying to decide whether to use a stencil or use stickers - I’ve gotten quotes for stickers in the $160 range and for stencils it’s about $65 not including paint. I know that everyone likes to share their opinions, especially on this forum LOL, so I’d like to hear from people who’ve done this and hear their thoughts and whether they would do it again or maybe switch to the other option (e.g. had stencils but switched to stickers or vice-versa).

    I am right in the middle of this. I have the exact tires as you. Attached is what the Raceline Digital stencils look like. I used the wrong paint so it didn’t adhere as it should. I sanded it off, and I now have Tire Stickers permanent glued letters which I’ll apply this week.
    I’m on the road working from my phone but ask any questions you have.
    There’s another thread started recently you should check as well. I was going to reply to that then saw yours.

    I put this in the inside until I decide if I like what I’m doing.

    Stickers. They work and are easy to apply plus they get dirty later looking more like the real McCoy.

    What size stencils did you use for the tires?

    Sand the sidewalls smooth and spray paint with stencils...but like Kyle said, don't make them too white or too neat.

    I sanded my tires smooth but used a flat white vinyl paint because it was flexible. I’m not sure what kind of paint to use, and the Raceline Digital stencils are one time use. I gave up and bought the stickers. If you look on Raceline Digital’s website, choose the GoodYear stickers and then the wheel size, it tell you what the height is. Note they use the same size letter front and back.
