I checked tirerack.com
they are not the KDW's. They're close, but not them.
This is the KDW:

It's the tire selection/price that sucks. I might even try a fuzion 275 on my 11" rears just to smoke them up and drift around on.
I was seriously thinking about using the GY F1d3 in 275 on the rear. They run $200, while the 315 size jumps in price to $300. That just sucks.
Also the Nitto 555RII autocross tire is made in 275, but not 315.

Im running 285's on the rear of my 11"s and 255's up front

Do you have a pic at an angle to see the sidewall shape?

The problem is only when you jack up the car. There isn't any problem when driving. I've never gotten the car to get the wheels off the ground while driving before.


The pic of the bumpstop shows the corner I'm talking about but I don't think I had to grind that much off of mine but it was close to the bolt hole

Its about straight with the rim but hard to tell because the MX have a rim protection bead and then they curve over at the tops. They dont buldge they are more of a stretch on both the front and the rear.
