Default *PIC* How Do I Acheive This Look

I would like to have the same staggered look as this car. Former board member here. What size tires up front and back? If i had to guess 275 and 335? Also what kinda tires are those as well? Since BFG is not making the KD any more, what is a good compariable tire. with a tread rating of 400, temp A and what ever the last one is = A too lol

275/315s is what that car had. Those tires are BFG KDs the only tire that I think is comparible is Goodyear's

Get the Goodyear GS-D3's...they are pricey, but look awesome when mounted on an 11" wide wheel

Sumitomo is a wide tire but hell no for traction




I would go with MT 315 35 17 if you find a set

Why, all it has is 17" TT2's with wider rear tires, CETA and Corsa (plus a few subtle things) as far as exterior appearance goes.

They are 315 BFG KD's, I have the same look with my TT M's... 17x10.5 rim with 315 BFG KD's, the offset on mine is 44mm so it gives that wider stance. Thats all you need but it will cost you in the wallet.

i am going to be getting TTMs. black w/polished lip..

f= 17X9 wish it was 9.5 and r=17X10.5 wish it was 11

I will be doing 275 for the front and now seeing other pics 315 for the rears.

I want the BFG KD tire, but are not being made so i need to find something comparable.. any help? And 335 will require a BFH

Torchd the GSD3 will work on the TTM 10.5, one of the meets we had a guy had them on his car and it looked just as good as the BFG KD's do on mine. That is the only other decent tire that will last and have a wide tread section. Thanks for the compliments in my post bro!

315/35ZR17 fits just fine on a 10.5" wide wheel.

If you doll out the extra dough for Good Year GS D3's . .

The 17" x 9" (which is the stock WS6 and SS wheel width) a 275/40ZR17 and a 17" x 10.5" with a 315/35Zr17 will get you the staggered look you want adn you will be happy!

Why don't you just shell out the extra dough for the TTII's? They have the desired offset you want, and they look 1 million times better. If it's because you want them painted, **** just go get them painted!

I like how people still recommend the GSD3 and you cant find those anywhere... they might as well be discontinued bc goodyear doesnt plan on make any soon. Those are the 315s i havent wanted for about 6 months!! I jumped on that ebay deal with the BFG KDs so you might check, i know he put up a crap load of sets a couple weeks ago... at least get the rear KD 315s from there if you can.


and i believe that T/A in the pic you posted to start the thread has about a 1" drop on it too. Good luck man
