So i washed the car today in preparation of storing it for the winter. Found a nice bulge on the front passenger tire. So now I NEED to buy 4 new tires(both rear tires have cracking along the sidewall). I was thinking of BFG KDW-2's, 335/30 in the rear and 275/35 in the front.

Will a 335 fit on our cars? I know Ill have to get the fenders rolled.

fenders rolled, and might have to lose the quad-shocks if you have them. at the very least flip them.

305 fits, depending on offset. 315 will be a TIGHT squeeze.

I have a 7.5, dont have to worry about quad shocks.

Matt: Rear offset is 22mm. The rear tires right now are flush with the fender.

Just checked it out... tire rack is cheaper.

and I only paid $400 for the last set of tires so I dont really care how much this set costs.

yeah discount usually has higher prices but they have free shipping so it usually works out to be cheaper. i dunno if discounts free shipping applies to canada though....
