I would go with B F Goodrich KDW2 in size 255X55X18

They fit just fine.

Thanks!!! The 255/55r18s are on and look great.

My OEM 2006 Goodyears are now for sale in the classifieds (only 1437 miles on them) to offset the purchase.

How about a picture? Just FYI, according to my calculator, when your speedo reads 60, you are doing 60.9 MPH.

Thanks,

Have an 06 R/T with 255/35/ZR20 in front and 295/40/ZR20 in back, havent moved the car since mounting the new wheels and tires.  The rears touch the inner plastic wheel well, the fronts are clear all the way around.  I was thinking about either going with a spacer of about 1/4 inch (as the touch is a barely touching) or taking the dremel to the inner fender liner (which I really dont want to do) any answers, excluding going smaller.  Thanks
