It will fit. It will be kinda small though. I wouldn't run that tire if you switch to 4.10's. It will be like you running 4.56's do to how short the tire is.

psycho bob · October 20th, 2008, 03:47 AM

is he switching to 4.10's? his sig say's he has 3.73's now and that would make it around a 4.10 +/- right. since i don't deal with tires everyday i didn't even think of the height and have to actually go look to see how tall it ends up being. 25.5 inches is a good bit shorter than stock, but i would probably still do it unless he's changing gears in the immediate future.

hey jucostud i went online to find nitto tires n555r. unless i'm just bieng brain dead i do not see a 275X18 by anything. heres what i found. 285/35zr18, 305/45r18, 305/40r18, 305/35zr18, 335/30zr18. and they all showed i needed alot wider rim. am i missing them or what.

psycho bob · October 20th, 2008, 10:11 PM

nitto's website doesn't list a 275 either and the 285/35 is still shorter than the stockers. i personally would still go with the bfg's, but most here i think prefer the nitto's to them for the mileage factor.

06SuperStang · October 22nd, 2008, 01:48 PM

i called bfgoodrich and they recommended a 245/40/18 drag radial to fit the stock 18's. what do yall think?

But i only use the dr's for the track and to and from. The mickeys have been great at the track, i just think more sidewall would help a so so launcher like myself.

Im not sure about dr's for the street, do they hook any better then street tires if you dont do a burnout and heat them up? thats a question to ask some other guys, I run 275/40/18s nitto street tires on the street, i have 389/358 and 4.10s, i cant complain about them that much really, its a good tire, in the winter they dont hook that great, it is a soft compound tire, but in the summer on the street they were not bad taking of at a light.

Are there 15" rims that fit the back? I thought that was a big issue? If there are 15" rims for the back that don't require a spacer or any kind of grinding, I'd love to know where to find them? I'd like a 15x10 for the rear.

These and Bogarts are your only choice that I know of...and no, I wouldn't recommend RPM Outlet fromwhat I've heard about their service.

do you use the bfg drag radial on the street, if so how does it do as far as traction and overall use.

i am still using the kdw II. as soon as they are gone i will be switching to the 295 bfg dr. they are supposed to be a bit stickier than the nitto's and they match the kdw's i have on the front. i won't switch to the nitto's as i love the kdw's and they are great in the rain. not sure about the dr's in the rain though as i haven't seen anyone that uses them
