I currenly have 245 40 18 Kuhmo 712's mounted on my 18 x 8 TSW Thruxtons w/ a 40 mm backspaceing. My back ones are getting pretty worn and I want to switch to a different brand. I do not have my fenders rolled and I currently experience no rubbing.
I have read that some tires seem to run wide, and I am wondering what tires I can go with on the rear of the car and not worry about rubbing. I would like to go with the 245 40 18 BFG drag radials, but am worried they will rub.
Any suggestions on what tires to go with?
Those of you with wheels with similiar backspacing, what are you running for tires, and do they rub?

Im surpised ur not rubbing w/ the Kumho's. The 245 measures 9.8" and the BGF's measure 9.6" in the 245 and alot of people report rubbing. I would try the infamous toyo t1r or nitto. Better yet try the Kumho MX and let me know if they rub. Those are the ones I want.
