They are okay. Had them on a 98 Neon. Riken Raptors are supposed to be fairly good the R/T size. I may go with those next, but I still have some RS-As to use ;-)

I plan on using the Riken's on the SRT4 when these KDW2s are done. I love the BFGs, but man they don't last for shit. 2nd set in 60K miles! :O

I had two sets of BFG KDWS' before going with the Riken Raptors and they are right on par with the BFG's, at half the price! They look better too :)

And I agree, you'd have to be really slammed for 255/45's to not look too small.

[BTLFED R/T]

They're still going to look small, compare to the wheel well. But to each their own.
