Default Bfg Kdw 2

Does anyone have a pic of a 275/35/19 BFG KDW 2 on a 19x10.5" Wheel? I've heard they don't look as stretched as other 275/35/19's but i'd like to see a pic for myself to be the judge before I decide on what set-up to go.

Can you do it in the morning or under good lighting? Sometime it's hard to see things like tires in the dark...

BTW, what sizes are you running up front? (both tires and wheels...)

BFG KDW's have a thicker sidewall than other tires, which in turn makes them not look quite as stretched as other tires do. I had 285/35/19 in Toyos and didn't have to roll the fenders and then I went with KDW's in the same size and had to roll the fenders. That tells you they are thicker. Sorry no good pics though.

yep and 245 on 9.5 inch rims. please excuse the dirty car. hasnt been washed in a week!

i love it cause it doesnt look too meaty like the 285/35's do and it has very little stretch, plus its gonna have more protection for you wheel then a 285/30 tire. win win all the way around. I would have never gone with this setup if Chris at F1 didnt recommend it.

Thanks for posting pix man. I want to get the BFG in those sizes for the same reasons you posted. They won't look as stretched as the 275/35/19 for the Toyo's, plus there's no reason to go with a 285/35 (too tall), or 285/30 (less protection). Only thing is, next time I'm definately doing a 255/35 on the front.

Man I Love those pics!!! thanks for the info. I'll actually save $80 by going with the BFG KDW's instead of the dunlop SP sport 9000's and I'll have the proper sizes.....I hate the meaty look of the 285/35's also. my fronts won't be 9.5 though, they will be 8.5 with the 245 which is fine by me as long as i have the 10.5's out back
