They'll stick out a little... How wide is the rim you're going to run them on?

Incredible tire! Love'm, but I still drive like a blue haired ole lady when it's raining. Because running wider tires seem to hydroplane easily anyway.

They stuck out a lot on my ccw's. I took them off after 20 miles and sold them. I'm running a 305 tire now.

They're not KDWs, but I've got 335/30/18 Pilot Sports on my Z06 with 11.5" CCWs. They stick out just a little, but not enough to look bad. I've got a 3/16 spacer, and it's tight, but they don't rub.

My Michelins are getting old, so I think I'm going to KDWs all the way around for next season.

Black car look familiar?

Looks good... Just curious, why do you have the spacer?

Without the spacer, they would rub. There is a faint mount of scuffing on the driver side inner wheel. The spacer moves it out just far enough to keep it from making any real contact.

Depending on wheel width and offset, your results may vary.
