BFG g-Force KD's

[BRIMSTONE]

Car & Driver, April 2002 issue:

Before pg. 27 there is a green BFG ad. In it they advertise the g-Force KD's on a C5 Vette.

I know the KDW's are easy to get, buy why are they advertising KD's? Are they making them available to everyone now?

Good question?? hmmm? I wonder? I thought these were specially made just for the R? Maybe it was just the ones in our size?? I would assume the Vette uses wider tires, especially in the rear?

Andy is right, it is just our size that is hard to get. I went to our tire dealer last week and ordered a set of KD's for our 95R. It was no problem getting them, but the 00R size had a "?" in the colum. The guy told me that meant they need a VIN number in order to get, all the rest of the sizes showed available.

This is what some of the Vette guys are using:
265/35/18 front
295/35/18 rear

Will 295's fit on ours??

Mike,

I don't think 295's will fit on 9.5" rims??? I think you'd have to go to about a 10-10.5" rim for a 295??? You could probably get them on the rim, but it would likely not sit flat against the pavement??

anyone else? thoughts on this?
