Im looking for a little help....
Almost a year ago i bought a set of 18 inch OZ Ultraleggeras and ordered them with the Eagle F1 tires. The next day someone from tirerack called to point out a problem with my order. i was told the F1 tire would rub my OZ set up and suggested i go with the KDW-2 because the same size KDW would not rub. Its time for new rubber and i want to second guess Tirerack and reconsider a higher performance tire. My choice is still the Eagle F1 GS-D3. Does anyone know how bad it would rub or if it would realy rub at all? If it does rub could i get away with minor fender roll to fix it?

FYI: im running stock ride hight

Eagle F1 GS-D3
Front:
225/40ZR18 2
Rear:
245/35ZR18 2


KDW-2
Front: 225/40ZR18
Rear: 245/35ZR18


Wheel info
O.Z. Ultraleggera
Size Selected: 18x8 Front
Recommended Tire Size: 225/40-18
** Lightweight: 18.4 lbs. **


Size Selected: 18x9 Rear
Recommended Tire Size: 255/35-18
Wheel Offset: 55mm
** Lightweight: 19.6 lbs. **

 

let me add one thing. the KDW-2 is an awesome tire and is a great value. everything is very good about the tire even the performance. i had not problem keeping up with people running a "better" tire on the dragon (please, no experience /driver skill comments). like anyone, im always looking for stronger, better, faster.

 

I checked and the specs on the Goodyear are actually a little narrower on the section with. If the KDW2 fit the Goodyear would also fit.
If I can help just let me know.

 

The rear will be fine, what is the offset on the fronts?

 

the recommended tire size is a 255.... would that be pushing it?

thanks you both!

 

You will be fine stock height with those. May look like a 4x4 though.

I rubbed slightly with 18x9 51 mm in the rear with 255's but with a 55mm offset it will be just right

 

Jim, Can You Second That?

 

"Yes, it should be fine"

 

i have them in black...they are awsome.
