Up front I have run the Zii in a 255/35/18 and now have 275/35/18. I've been very pleased with the wear and ride. I would like to give the RS3's a try next. They too have the 235/40/18 and 275/35/19 sizes which might work for you.

The other option is the Nitto NT555. It is a high performance street tire at 300TW available in the same sizes as mentioned in this post and a 225/40/18. Check tire dimensions and suggested rim widths. The lower aspect ratios do suggest a wider width so the 7" may be a tough one to find tires for as you are finding out.

Thanks Jay, I'm not having any problems finding the rears. When I picked my wheels out last year and started on my build. Now I'm ready for tires and the KDW's were available and I knew they would work for what I was trying to accomplish. Now they aren't making them anymore. I did find some 245/35/18's in the michelins. But still researching what's out there, I'd like to stay with a 35 due to the turning radius at the height I'm wanting. Thanks again and I will check the nittos out as well.
