As a Hankook dealer I can tell you the Hankooks are really nice tires. Nice thread pattern, low noise and great handling in both wet & dry conditions. We've had customers get 40k plus miles out of them. Best of all you get a 3 year Road Hazzard Warranty with each set.
Hey Mark,
When are you supposed to get the 20" Wheels? Are you getting 10" for the rear? That's what I'm trying to figure out....
Hey Dirk. With the upcoming car show season upon us. I am going to leave the USW 22" for now, but paint the black 5 star, silver steel. Maybe powdercoat the wheel tubs in black. This should take car of the brake dust problem,LOL. If you can't beat them (brake dust and SRT) Join them ((black coated wheel tubs) LOL
My contact at USW just called me the other day. I told him to wait a bit before I have them build my custom set of 20". They will be 20x9 275/35/20 F and 20x10.5 295/40/20 R. This is a very tight set up, but no rubbing.

Now that is EXACTLY what I'm talkin' about! I was zeroed in on the 295s for the rear, but I really like the idea of 275s on the front. LOTS more grip for cornering....
Have you found a brand that comes in those 2 sizes??? I want the front and rear to be the same make and style...
BF Goodrich t/a KDW (1) come in the 295/40R20... and just checked, 275/35R20s Wonder if those would fit up front...

Yep the Summer BF Goodies t/a KDW (1) or (2) tires. I believe they make them in both sizes and in both 1 and 2. I forget the difference. I am sure they explain it on the BF Goodie site. I think that Hennessey is running the KDW (2), not 100% sure, on his MSRT. It is either the (1) or the (2) KDW though for sure. His wheel size and tire size/make are the set I am patterning my 20" that USW will build for me. His is the set that is a tight fit, but no rubbing, that I mentioned in the post before.

OK good. So what is the backspacing needed to make those work?
Oh and wildexcel - sorry to hijack your thread.
