anyone crammed these into their front wheel wells ?

 

If I did the math correctly , the diameter of those calculates out to about 28.61" which is pretty big for the front. I have 295/35/20 on my rears and they're only about 28.1" ...

 

Great calculator for comparing different rim/tire combos

thanks! here's what is says;

Package is 5 mm (0.2'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Fenders Package will stick out 5 mm (0.2'') farther. Acceptable for most cars.
Wheelwells Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 17 mm.

Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider lower profiles or smaller rims.

 

Width doesn't seem to be a problem? What is the factory tire size? The height does seem tall?

 

That is not a large tire.

Additionally the KDWS is a pretty unimpressive tire from a performance standpoint. I'd look for something else unless you're getting a screaming deal on em.

 

Yeah, its an okay all season tire, I'd look into a 255/45R18, much better selection and depending on location if your so inclined, you can go to a good summer tire as well in the 255/45R18.

Going from a 235/50R18 to a 255/45R18 is an easy way to bump lateral acceleration (couldn't say about overall road holding - but if your in the bigger = more rubber on the ground camp then it'll do it for ya).
