What did you shave the KDWs to?

Couple advantages I give to BFG over Kumho is they have handled better and
stood up to more abuse better then any other tire I've had....

Just looking at what might work for you I see 

BFG G-Force TA KDW 2 which are Z rated but actually have higher Y
(186MPH) speed rating

295/35/ZR18 would work nicely on your 10" rim and is 26.1" tall in rear
with a 
245/40/ZR/17 or 235/40/17 fronts like Art and I have...see photos of tires
on my Pantera at last ORR on my web site
