Default Gary: how are the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 tires and would I rub?

I just wondering if I would rub with these. I ran set of falken 235 35 19. on 19 x 8.5 et 28.
I could not find any info on how wide the tread is. I think falkens were 8.2.

28mm offset is pretty aggressive so I can't tell you for sure that they would clear.

The KDW2 is a great tire for wet/dry traction as well as very fast steering response. It tends to be a bit louder than other summer tires in its category, however. You might want to consider the Kumho MX as well.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

BFG does not publish a treadwidth on this tire, however we have found that they run fairly true to sizing. The only way to tell for sure whether these would clear is to test fit.

Have one or more of the tires mounted, lower the car to the ground and carefully check clearances.

We can take the tires back for credit to your credit card minus the shipping as long as they are not driven on.

If you decide to do this reference 'gary/test fit' in the 'previous contact' box so that I can flag the order as a test fit.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

Default FYI, per Gary's comments...

... I just returned a set of KDW2's and got a set of MX's due to Luke's suggestion.

The MX is a higher-performance tire, says almost everyone I've talked to.
