Default Lets see your wide tires

I'm in the market for new wider tires and I'm curious to see those of you with wide rear tires.

Whats the best tire?

BFG KDW2s...i am partial to them but they are hands down better than the stockers were....285/40 is a great size but it depends on your wheels, if you are on the stock wheels then 255 is the most you can probably fit without the possibility of problems.

What mods you got to get the 323 hp and 332 torq....those a good numbers

This sounds crazy, since its actually a good quality these Pirellis grip so good, but squeeling the tires doesn't always come as easy as you'd think with the stockers. Especially on an automatic.

what are you talking about its easy to squeel the rears with an auto
just yesterday at a light I had TCS off and simply floored it on green and squeeled over halfway through the intersection before the tires griped

edit: oh ya bone stock (stock everything)

Not the best angle. They're Nittos 315/35/17DRson deep dish 10.5. Got 325 M&H DRs waiting to go on once car is out of the shop, in about another 2-3 weeks??? Nittos are great in the rain. M&H is a softer rubber, better traction,but evacuates water less efficiently.
