If you go turbo I would keep the 3.55s.

Supercharger I would go with 4.10s.

Wouldn't that be the other way around?

The kdw2? If so then no. I like the look of those tires (look like flames), but their available sizes suck ***, nothing but ricer sizes in 17[:'(]. Unfortunately those of us that like a tall tire on the rear are screwed by todays tire manufacturers. You'd have to go with a high performance tire meant for a sport truck.

are there bfg kdws in that size?

There are many tire size calculator online that will spit out the overall diameter for you. A 255/55/18 is right around 29 inches tall and there are quite a few to choose from on tirerack.com. Great place to buy from by the way, i've bought 3 sets from them so far. (not all this car)

If you are lowered I don't think a 29 inch tall tire in the front will work. Even if you're not lowered I would check around to see if anyone is running a tire that tall in the front.
