Time for new wheel/tire package
 
Alright well its that time. I'm more than likely getting chrome saleen's but ran across these on ebay, what you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...65497735QQrdZ1

Also. Is it worth getting 18x9/18x10 and loose the priveledge of rotating tires. My car is a DD BUT! I have winter wheels AND tires I can use from November thru March. Will I be fine getting wider tires in the rear and loosing the priveledge of rotating? If I get wider tires I'm pretty much stuck on BFG KDW2s. Tread wear should be ok then?????? Also would I notice much of a difference in traction with a 295/35 in the rear compared to a 275/35?

The wheel's are nice.

I think it's worth getting the 9's and 10's for the ability of running a larger tire on the rear for look's and traction.The tread wear will be fine.I've had mine on for a year and they still look like new.The 295 is alot bigger than the 275 and should provide better traction.

So you think there is a noticeable difference in traction between 275/295?
BFG KDW2 a good choice then?

There should be.The 295 is pretty wide on a 18x10.

Yes I love those tires.A little pricey but not too bad and they run a little big so they will look awesome!!

I can actually get them for a relatively good price from my installer/tuner. Then can get free mounting/balancing from my friend. Boy o boy it pays to make friends in the performance world:beerchug:

Still waiiting on some more input on the rims

I agree, not a fan of the rivet's. I saw a pic of a mineral grey stang with gunmetal saleens with rivets, I did'nt like it.
