Advice on Tires for my Built TT Z.
I just purchased a set of Volk SF-Challenges for my Z to replace my TE37's. They SF are 19x9.5 +28 front & 19x10.5 +23 rear. What tires would you suggest and what is the largest size i can get on there without rolling the fenders? I was thinking about the BFGoodrich G-FOrce T/A KDW, Which is what i have on my TE37's But let me know what you think guys any advice is much appreciated. Im just looking for good traction on the street. Its pushing 453 WHP on sharifs DD and it ran 504 on a local Dynojet. Basic Built Greddy TT @ 14 PSI.
PS. I did a few searches and i didnt see to many up to date that would pertain to my paticular build. So what are the best tires out there for me CURRENTLY.
Thanks for the advice.

Anyone else know about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta just looked at them they look pretty sweet. And Anyone else thing i can fit 295/30 on my car? Because i have much more torque do you not thing that it will rub when i launch? It squats a pretty good bit. But once again it is stock suspension.
So far its between the Gforce T/A KDW and the Vredestein...... tell me what u think guyz

Update. I Couldnt find 295/30/19 in the KDW Only 295/35/19 does bfgoodrich make the KDW in 295/30/19 and would the 35 be a problem if i went with that? Also it seems the KDW is about $80 more per wheel which im willing to do if there better tires. Let me know if anyone else can find a better price.
This is the website i couldnt find 295/30 on

use this to see if your width/profile will throw off your VDC and speedometer too much:

the KDW2's are awesome for dry traction. I had no complaints with them and the noise either... but ya traction for my slow *** Z was never an issue but im sure they'll hold that power of yours down just fine.

Hey man, i have bf goodrich 285/35/19 on my le37 with 22 offset. if you are talking about the kdw2, you will rub most likely. The kdw2 runs a bit wider that most and are pretty meaty. i'm on stock suspension at the moment as well and it still rubs.

The Vredesteins will not hold your power levels. I would do KDW (at the minimum) or R888 since you can fit them in the rear. How often do you drive the car? IDk how well the new Nitto's in a 275 work compared to ther tires, but there is a review here where someone with your power range is using a 275 and hooking up in second.

I hear the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs are damn good. I have a new set of 275/35/18 I'm throwing on some 10.5 18" TE37's. Very interested in seeing the results.

The R888 Are pretty HAWT.. Im thinking about thouse do you think the 295/30/19 will rub or should i do the 285/30/19 and what should i run for the front if i go with the R888
But $427.99 a wheel is pretty steap though rofl.. Fiancee will defently ***** about this one..

Edit: Found a set for $359.99 each
