Default 275/40s on stock 06 rims, with pics

These fit fine on the rears. I do need bigger front tires now though as the car
handles a little wierd heh. Made it somewhat twitchy. I need a better camera too.

You should post a picture from directly behind the car so we can see the stance.


ps: Wow, you have the nicest car in the trailer park.

They look great but the twitchyness (?) you are experiencing may be b/c you put a wide section width tire on a relatively narrow rim...can make the sidewalls a bit sloppy.

please post more pics. i'm considering doing this when i wear out the stockers, but i just can't decide from your pics whether that rear 275 bulges too much away from the rim.

i'd just go with 265/40, but hardly anyone makes them, and they're about 100 bucks more than 275/40s.

+1 even from the quality of the pics, you can tell that the sidewalls are not seated correctly. Rims too narrow for the application.

The tires are BFG KDW GFORCE, they do bulge a little the twitch will go away when i use bigger tires on the front. They hook up alot better compared to the stock ones. They are really meant for a 9inch rim because of saftey concerns but they fit fine and do work very well. After i got used to them i can corner just as fast. I may use 8.5" rims in the front to get more neutral handling.
