remember when I came and picked them up from you and you warned me of driving them in the cold :kill2: I took my car out for a spin the other day, literally g-forces and 3'' of solid ice don't like each other haha. Have you returned to the sevens ?

Ill be getting back into the 7's in a few years... Right now im working on going motorcycle roadracing in 07... I already have a few sponsors, and ALOT of help from some good guys...
Other than that, I have an 83 corolla wagon... 5speed RWD=fun
Im thinking about doing the full AE86 conversion on it... 4A-GZE, AE86 rear suspinson and diff... 15"s all around... Ought to make a VERY cool old school drifter...
About the KDW's. I have also heard those are a fantastic tire, and among the best in the class. You do sacrafice a bit of sidewall stiffness (not much), and some at the limit traction, but you gain a more versatile tire.. better for daily driving. Especially if you drive in the rain much AT ALL!! Either way, I really believe you cant go wrong....

I have the same rims +7 offset I run 205/50 in the front and 225/50 in the rear. They rubbed until I rolled the renders now they're fine.
Ok your probobly right... Guess I should have clarafied a bit... the 15x7 with the 205/50/15 Bfgoodrich GForce Kd, are a perfect match.. looks wise, and fender clearance... I NEVER had any fender rub issues, other than the one time I put it in the gravel trap (up and over the curb) at PIR......

Now for the search for some nice tires... Any suggestions?
