After been stalked by Evolved for weeks, I decided to sell him my current drag setup and invest in some new shoes and rubber (just kidding bro).

I received my tires in yesterday and thought I would tease the bretheren a little, as always I went with BFG KWD2's for the extreme tread pattern.

Rears are 285-30-18 and fronts are 215-40-18 for a slightly stretched look and big skinny setup





Matte Black CLS AMG 18's-18x8.5 and 18x9.5 35MM offset





I am praying they fit as my wheels have a 35mm offset and are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5

Turbo 6

Wow those are wide! I hope they fit. I'm planning on running a set of Nitto 555r's on 10" wide Forgestars (35mm offset). Please keep us posted, and show us some pics. I bet the "big and littles" look sick!

I ran these tires on some 9.5 fronts and rears on past track car, and 275's fit easily, no problem at all. I don't think that you'll have a problem with 285s.

I will make them fit some how, I dont have a choice. May have to pull the fenders and roll the lips. I may also have to adjust the rear links upward for a HEAVY rake Right now my BFG drags in 275-35-18 fit easily on a 9.5" rim with the same offset, so I am hoping they will stuff in there nicely. It is going to look deadly from the back.

Your gonna look like a mustang!

Mannnnn, now I am wondering if I made a mistake. Those look amazing.

I just got my Nitto NT-05 yesterday. They look really nice but not like THOSE!



I'll give a full review of the Nittos when I punish them this summer. Not my pics below but same tire of course

chawkins2001

They do last forever and hook extremely well for not been a DR. I am hoping the small sidewall and wider tread will help accelerate just as well as a DR. Man, I cant wait for you guys to see the wheels I chose, it is going to be EPIC to say the least.

Just one person's experience here....

I put those on my C6 a while back and after about 3500 miles they got REALLY REALLY REALLY LOUD in the rear of the car.

What they sounded like was like I was driving on coarse concrete all of the time.... even on fresh asphalt.

I ended up switching to Toyos and it remedy'd this situation.

chawkins2001

They are loud tires for sure, but they definitely will not be heard over my magnapacks

If all else fails, I will just turn on the sound system

emoving

That tire is my favorite!

KDWII FTW only tire i use

tgoss

VERY NICE CHOICE SIR! You are going to love those. Like the Men's Warehouse: I guarantee it

FASN8N

Nice meats you have there, can't wait to see the new wheel/tire combo on the car

randallaguirre

I don't think you'll have any problem stuffing the 285s up in there. I put on new wheels and tires 2 weeks ago, my rears are Nitto INVO 285-30-19 and they stuffed in there perfectly!
Just to be safe though, while I had the wheels and tires off I worked the inner wheel well lips a little more with a bodyman's flat shaping hammer. I also made sure that if the tire did hit something it would "rub" and not "cut".

This weekend I had two people in the back and a back of dog food in the trunk and NO RUBBING.

Also, cant wait to see the secret wheels!!!!!

Verry nice. I run these on my turbo Z and they're the best straight line grip I've experienced out of all the street tires I've run.

Wheels came in last night, it all goes on today
