I bought some staggered 18s. 9" fronts with 10" rears. I'm concerned with what will rub and also the look of the tires. I cant stand when tires look like their not wide enough for the wheel and they curve outward toward the edge of the rim. Im thinking a 275/35 front and a 295/35 rear.

My car is lowered with Ford C springs and the UPR K-member w/ stock contol arms seems to have lowered the front maybe an extra fourth of an inch.

I like BFG KDW NTs but havent decided yet. There are some many combinations and brands. Let me know what you think.

Your sizes sound good. I have 275/35's on 9" fronts and there is no stretching in the least. I have 315/35's on 10.5" rears and they fit perfectly. I also had the same concerns you have and was 100% satisfied with the results. No tire bulging, rubbing, or stretched look.

Thanks for responding. I haven't bought many different types of tires. You got any experience with the KDW NTs? I like the neat tread pattern. The reviews say they're loud but my car is so obnoxiously loud that I seriously doubt that will be an issue. Suppose I could open this thread up to opinions on tire brands and models.
