I was planning on running the Nitto 555's 275\35\18 up front and 285\35\18 out back on my new SSR GT 03's I just received and want a few more opinions on the matter. The car is never raced and is strictly a once a month weekend cruiser. Rims are 18by9.5 and 18by10.5. Also what lugs nuts are you guys using with our rims?? Are the standard ones American muscle sells suffice?

I love the KDW NT's, I ran them on my Dakota that I threw a ton of money at and these things hook well. Definitely going to run them again when I get around to upgrading the wheels to 18's. It's too bad that they aren't wider then 275 for 17's, just can't swing a new set of wheels (TrueForged) right now with all the other things I've done this winter.

I just did a ton of research on this. I just bought the afs chrome replicas and I am running nitto 555's up front 265/35/18 and out back on my 10.5 rims nitto 555rII's 305/35/18 it hooks, it handles, and it looks great.

Ok.. I got a question..... I just tried to put on my new 10.5 inch cobra replica's with 315/35/17 MT Street ET IIs and the tire sits very nicely on the low profile IRS bolt I installed 30 mins ago. I'M PISSED. I am looking at spacers right now but I have no idea what size spacer to get.. I'm thinking a 30 mm should work

Best looking set up I have seen was 265 up front and 305's in the rear on an 11" wheel.

Right now I have a 315 on a 10.5 wheel with a 1/4" spacer and absolutely no issues. I think I might try a 305 next. Not sure.

I agree, those 335's are way close!!

I've been running 315 555r Nitto DRs with 1" spacer for a couple of years with no probs. If you have a 10.5 inch rear tire I wouldn't run any smaller tire than a 315. I'm thinking about going up a size and running 335s on my 10.5 rear rims.
