Don't waste your time or money on Nittos. Nittos are junk. You can find use Pony wheels for $50 a piece or less all over the internet and run some 26x8.5-16 slicks or ET Streets. Or find some some turbines and run a 26x8.5-15 slick. With your current set up and slicks you will run mid to low 13s if you have a 5 speed and can drive it.

Just fyi, I ran nitto 555's on my imports forever.. Had an rb20 240sx..

The ONLY way to get them to work is to literally cook them.. im talking very long burnouts to get them hot. I was pulling 1.86 60ft times on those.

Switched to a hoosier, light burnouts and got 1.80 60ft times on those.

Went to a m/t dr and went down to a 1.75 all day long.
