I just purchased a set of 18" AFS replicas, 18x9 and 18x10.5.....I am getting ready to order rear tires and need to know what size will clear. My car is an 03 vert with the Eibach pro kit on it. I'd really like to run 335/30/18 BFG KDW's on the rear but am very concerned that they will not clear. Has anyone tried this??? I've read where people are running a 335 but not in the KDW's, I've also read where the KDW's tend to be wider than your normal 335. I was running a 315/35/17 with no issues at all prior to switching to the 18's. I do have a set of spacers if need be but I am worried about it rubbing the fender lips then. Any help would be GREATLY appreciate prior to ordering these expensive *** tires!
Will this tire fit???

Everyone I've seen run 335s had their fenders rolled. I think the consensus is that a 335 COULD fit without the fenders rolled, but if you hit a big bump the finder will hit the tire.
I ran the 335 KDW's on my old '03 Cobra. I had 3/8" spacers and low profile IRS bolts. The car was stock height so I did not have any trouble with rubbing. Just so you are aware of it, those tires get real noisy as they wear and I did not feel they had near the traction of a 335 Toyo R888.
Need to roll fenders. I have the 335 kdws as well very loud tires and no traction. I manly just cruise my car so its not a big deal
roll your fenders or run risk of cutting up the tire. While KDW's thread pattern looks really cool they suck IMHO! I had them with 600 RWHP and i blew the tires off in 3rd! And they were really noisy.....
I ran a toyo proxy 888 with 335 wide with spacers and low pro IRS bolts with no fenders rolled and had no issue....I rolled my fenders for insurance because me and 3 buddies went in on a roller for our cars.
