Default Thoughts on tire/rim setup

I have ordered a set of Weld RT-S S71 in 18x9 and 18x10 for my 5th Gen Camaro SS. I am planning on running Nitto NT555 (265/50) and Nitto NT555-R (305/45) on them. This setup will be used daily. I have a L99 and just bolt ons and a tune. I make about 370 to the tire so nothing fast. I can break street tires lose now though easily.

Any thoughts or feedback on this setup?

First time running a radial.

For what you have now that set up will do fine, but I'd recommend an NT05R instead which gives you more room to grow if you plan to add more mods in the future. 555r hooks fine for your power level but not so great with heads/cam and/or power adder cars.

These are getting installed this Saturday! Woot! So excited. Had to wait on TPMS, new valve stems (Dill VS-925C), and new set of lugs. Will post pictures once they are on.

What PSI do you guys recommend for the NT555-R's on the street? This is my daily setup. I have gotten mixed answers from so many people. I am trying different PSI's every few days.

So far 28 cold PSI seems to be ideal for my setup on the street.
