Tires for 18x9 fronts

[Weslsew]

What tires is everyone using and how do you like them on 18x9 fronts? I currently have 265/35 18 BFG kdws. They seem to be the perfect size. Unfortunately I can't find any replacements. Looking at the nt555, nt555g2, BFG gforce sport comp 2, and maybe the invos.

I've heard the nittos run small, are you guys running the 275s? Any rubbing?

The older 555's ran on the small side. But my new G2's are about a half inch wider. Those are 315's though. Just food for thought.

Hit up Discount Tire. They are a vender here and will take care of you.

I can't find the specs for the kdws anywhere. The sport comp 2 is 25.3x10.5 though.

The nt555 are 25.3x10.5

The nt555g2 doesn't come in a 265/35

So it's either the 255/35 which is 25x10.24
Or the 275/35 which is 25.5x10.94


I'm leaning to the nt555 g2 since it looks like a great tire, and the prices are all basically the same. Any input on the 255 or 275? I'm thinking staying on the smaller side to avoid rubbing.

Most I've talked to seem to go 265/35 or 275/35. I wouldn't let the slight increase in diameter for 275/35 steer you away. A buddy of mine had 255/35 and to me they looked to small, like a rubber band. That can vary from brand to brand though. I went with 275/35 for mine mainly due to availability, should be installed this weekend.
