Default 18x10.0 All around on SC400. Need tire rec.

1. The off set will be +24 all around.
2. The car is lowered with Tein Basics.
3. Fenders will be rolled

Will 245-35 front and 245-40 rear work?
Yes, I know it will be stretched, but I do not have an option.

Also, do you think BFG g-Force T-A KDW will work for the stretch? According to tirerack, it has reinforced side walls.

Thank you for your help in advance.

I would assume the KDW's would be pretty resistant to stretching because they are built like tanks. I have no experience, but I have been told by a respected forum member that Dunlop Direzza's are good at stretching and have relatively sloped sidewalls which are conducive to sliding under the fenders.

ps. if you need a fender roller, shoot me a PM. I have one sitting in my basement next to my heat gun. Worked like a charm for me.

KDW's will stretch I have them in 19's. I found that out by luck the tire shop had some in stock and I tried them on and they were perfect.

Oh sweet. KDWs it is.
I was debating between KDWs and Falken Vip lines.

As far as the fitment goes, what do you think?

Some people recommended 235 for the front, but that sounds to be like an extreme stretch.

I would go with the 245's for piece of mind on Michigan roadways....although, you would probably be ok with 235's.

Well it is not too far outside of the recommended rim width range. However, I have heard of guys whose tires have come unseated in a corner. There is a recommended rim width range for a reason. That said, I doubt the 245/40's would be much of a problem.
