Hey I'm in need of new tires and I'm looking forward to getting these
NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 Tire (255/50-17)

I have a question that needs to be answered... will the NITTOS fit onto my rims?

The tires I have now are the BFG goodrich 235/50zr18

Please let me know for sure if the tires I want will fit onto my rims. thanks

That third number has to match up. You said it is an 18 now, that means you have an 18 inch rim. those nitto's you mentioned are for a 17 inch rim. in other words, those NITTO's should be 255/50/18...

unless you do have 17 inch rims

Would these fit on my rims NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 Tire - 255/45-18 if the BFG goodrich 235/50zr18 are my stock ones.

yes. Well, im pretty sure. idk how wide your rims are. im assuming 8 inches. I have 245's on my 9 inch wide tires but think 255 would be a much better fit. your probably fine though
