(4) BFGoodrich gForce Sport Comp-2 275/35ZR-18 95W Tires

Brand new matching set with factory stickers. I bought them in early 2016 (DOT date code 2415). However, after the first 6 months of sitting in my air conditioned garage, I stored them in black plastic bags. They've been out of direct sunlight / UV and with minimal O2 exposure and always moderate temperatures (50degF - 90degF, never frozen). They smell fresh, like a tire store's lobby. I would have no reservations taking these to a HPDS event and driving 10/10ths, but I can't ask $900+ for brand new, so I won't.

This "square" setup is perfect for our cars, given the 50/50 weight distribution and it's great to be able to rotate the tires (F to R, R to F) to get a bit more free life out of them.

Free pickup in central Virginia or I can ship. I'm happy to use your shipping labels as well if you get better shipping prices than I do. I'm willing to tape them into 2 taped-together pairs if it saves you shipping $.

These are backordered for $890 at TireRack + tax with excellent reviews.

Asking $575 (or $550 if you also buy my set of wheels; see other listing). Cash or Venmo preferred. Will accept PayPal Friends & Family, personal checks, bank checks, and crypto.

If I buy the wheel and tire combo, how much do these rub? Do they require fender rolling to fit?

TL;DR: In short: they're close to not requiring any fender rolling, but a mild roll to avoid scuffing either the sidewall or fender and liner might still be required -- it's on the edge. It's not the wheels that would require it; the tires do, particularly if you've significantly lowered your car. The tires are within 1/3" of about the max of what most run (285's), but I wanted minimal hassle of installation, but max wheel/tire combo under it, so along with the appearance, it's what I chose. I never mounted them (obviously) so I can't say for sure if mine would have required it, but no 2 cars are identical as much as we like to think they are.

This thread includes some who have very similar setups and did not require fender rolling:
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-whe...thread-133500/

Even so, take some advice from the pros by comparing with other wheel/tire combos @ Goodwin Racing:
https://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazd.../21-1051b.html --- suggest rolling the fenders when using 275's on lowered cars (they use this setup on their full-race track car). Less fender rolling required for street, but might still be needed (I think the rears touch before the fronts).

They also sell a set of wheels that push the outer edge of the tire 1/2" outward and say "lots of fender work required". No kidding. 1/2" is a lot.
https://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazd...60-108233.html

...but at the same time, they also offer one in between the two above that pushes the tire 1/5" outward than the wheels I'm selling and make no mention of needing to roll the fenders, perhaps because the expected use is more street focused rather than track.
