Boy.... that gonna be a tight squeaze

I see them fitting, but probably gonna have to at least flip your quads, or maybe remove if you still have them, also likely need to invite MC Hammer and Sister Sledge over for a little fender-expansion party. I don't see this as a huge deal, but would not expect them to fit without a bit of help.

^ Nitto NT555's are a fine tire... but are they the tires you NEED?

Tires should be chosen by the needs of the driver, but chosen by the budget... what are they?

If you are gonna set it up for turns, what is your timeline to get this done? That is to say, is it going to be in a year or 5 years?

If you are looking to get into some corner-carving items for your ride, my suggestion would be to get better tire than the 555's. They are a fine tire, but if you want to get serious grip, you should consider a better suited tire for those needs (certainly, can still be a Nitto tire ). You will still be driving on them in the next 1.5~2 years and tires are the MOST important item, next to the driver, in maintaining grip on the road.

My suggestion for the order in which one does performance mods...

#1 ~ Driver mod.... This is something you will NEVER complete, but needed at all times when behind the wheel.

#2 ~ Tires.... They should be decided to meet the needs of your ULTIMATE goal for your ride.

#3 ~ Brakes.... The SN95 brakes could use a LOT of help, when you begin to push its weight around and about $350 is all you need!

#4 ~ Suspension... VERY difficult to do efficiently and your ULTIMATE goal is of ultimate importance on this one!

#5 ~ Driver mod.... Continue to work on this for the rest of your life, because if you do it right, you will NEVER stop learning this one

Anything from a 285/35 or 40 to 315/35 tire is gonna fit fine, but depends on how much you want to hold the road and how badly you want to stop quickly. See, tires are not only needed for grip in general, but are the ultimate arbitor of braking. Your brakes, no matter how good, are only as good as your tires!

Brake upgrade link in sig for all your braking needs
