What kind/size of tires did you go with? I'm looking at ordering this set but I want to order tires as well. My car is 99.9% street driven.

I went with BF KDW's 295/35/18 for the rear. Fronts are the Riken Raptor 275/40/17. The KDW's are a great street tire if you mainly drive it on the street.

Dude, you just placed your order on the 1st and they are closed over the weekend. You won't see them until next week sometime. Mine took roughly 2 weeks to get to me. Hold tight slugger.

1. Pick out the tires you want.
2. Find a local shop that sells them that has a price-match guarantee.
3. Find the cheapest place online to get them (just google the tire, you'll find a few links to places to buy them)
4. Bring the cheapest online price to the shop, ask them to match that price.
5. Buy from shop, have them mount/balance.

Yea they were supposed to be here today, ups messed up apparently, 2 of the wheels arrived, the other two instead of coming here from Jacksonville went to Raleigh n.c. instead and delivery was changed to tomorrow for those two, Idk how they managed to separate the set but they did
