I would go with 265/35/18 and 295/35/19

I knew Lori wouldn't be far behind! They are going to look great! I agree with Noumi - those are perfect sizes for those wheels. You won't have any T/C or A/H issues at all.

I vote 265x35 and 295x35. You're lucky, they make the BFG KDW2 in those sizes - my favorite tire.

If you wanted a wider tire set up, then go with 265/35/18 & 305/30/19. This size will be ~ .4 shorter than the stock tires.
What are the offsets on the Cray wheels?

I am waiting for my new tires and wheels.. I went with the Crome Gray Manta with 265/35/18 front and 305/30/19 rear, with Michelins total to my door $ 3464.80.. I thought it was on the high side $$$$ but I really liked the wheels.. Will .4 make a defference with AH or TC ??? They say I should get them 1 or 2nd week in Feb..
Will post a picture after I get them on the Z...

PS2's are what I run and I love them a lot. But just be careful - they are a true summer tire. They get a little slick on cold pavement and they are not rated for snow. They are great in the wet.

Thanks for the info, and again, those look great.

Hey Ryan---nahhh---this is actually going to our daughter who turns 16 TODAY

So for all reasonable purposes---its more than loud enough for her
