had some issues in the back but Stazi's methood on how to eliminate it (stickied in this forum) eliminated it.
225's look great imho, just about the correct amount of tire.

My 225s rub. I beat the fender in to keep it from cutting the tires but they still rub the plastic (I believe that's what's going, definitely some rubbing happening), but they'll eventually rub through. I'm lowered on roush springs.

I'm lowered on BAT, usually I dont drive with like alot of people in the car where the back seats are occupied, that will cause my car to rub here and there. Other then that under normal drive and uneven pavement, no rubbing anymore..

Yeah, it doesn't rub just driving, but loaded down/going over bumps it does.

GS-D3's were the last set of tyres I had on my SVT. I liked them the best. S-02's were a close second. During my SVT tenure I ran just about every big name manufacturer except Pirelli's, Hankooky, Neato's and some rediculous bird named thingy's. Raptors mabey...

And at the end of the day, you have Kumho tires on your car. I hope you don't expect to take full advantage of those BAER brakes with those junk tires. First hand experience with slightly rear ending a car because these tires just wouldn't let me stop.
