Yay. Looks good im going to be running that on the front with 195/35 out back. Diameters are supposed to be exactly the same according to the BFG web site. Going to run the KDW2.... Had the Bridgestone RE01A PP's and I hate them so they are getting returned

But isn't the Z FWD, that means more rubber should be on the front...

TYPO, yeah i mean 295 lol


I have 265 out front now but I hate the tires and the KDW2 isn't made in a 265/285 like I have now and the 275/35 would be too much in the front with my offset so 255/40 and 295/35 it is, the 275/40 is way too thick and not enough meat for my rears so that's why I didn't go that direction.... The tires are the exact same overall diameter so the front wont be thicker than the rear.....

255x35x19 for me and it looks pretty good. Handles very well too. I dont know about a 40 though that may be a little tall.

Correct in a 19 a 40 would be too thick. Im running 18's so a lil more rubber isn't too big of a deal..... I wouldn't go anything thicker than 255/40 though for 18's.

How wide are your wheels? I'm about to order 18x9.5/18x10.5, and I'm having a hard time deciding what size tires to put on them.



(Also - nice meeting you at ZDayz!)
