Default BFG KDW's on Volk Rims

Hi guys, I was just wandering if the Tires will fit on my Volk rims without any issues. The model and sizes for the rims and tires are as follows:

Rims:
Volk Progressiv spoke
Front: 19x9.5 +22
Rear: 19x10.5 +25

Linky: http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/3185

Tires:

BFG g-Force T/A KDW
Front: 255/35
Rear: 285/35

Linky: http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overv...-a-kdw/22.html

The KDW's aren't available here in Australia and I am importing them through www.tirerack.com so it's important that they are right for my rims.

thanks heaps.
Martz

Yes they will fit no probelm at the moment I have:

18x8.5 with 255/35/18
18x11 with 295/35/18

The rear will look streched alil but you should be just fine

Yes, they should fit fine and there really won't be any stretch on the rears. Most people are running 245/275 tires and those are a little stretched.

I'm running essentially the same setup except with LE37Ts (9½/10½ wheels with 255/285 PS2 tires) and the fronts and rears fit fine. One of the reasons I picked 255/285 vs the 245/275 was to make sure there was enough "tire" to provide a little extra protection to the lip on the wheel.

Did you look at the KDW2's? They are an overall better tire

Wait, did BFG change the change the name from KDW2 to KDW? Tirerack still lists both kinds, but your pic says KDW, but shows a KDW2 treadpattern

KDW2 is the new version of the KDW tire.

I'm running F 245/35/19 R 285/35/19 on my F9.5/R10.5. The 245 have a bit of stretch (I originally wanted 255) but the rears are perfect. I rolled my fenders just in case. The rears do rub when I go up a curb, but not much.

FYI -- BFG tires are wider then normal tires.. I had a set of TE37 19x9.5 +22 & 19x10.5 +22 with KDW 255/35 & 285/35 with Tein Flex and my rear needed to be trim..
