Default 315 tires

i was gonna order some 18x10.5 c5 dd wheels with nitto tires and wanted nitto 555 tires again but it seems they do not make a 315 size tire for 18's i just assumed they did stupid me

so my question is who makes that size tire

thanks in advance

You could go with a 295/35/18, there's plenty of tires available in that size.

335/30/18's are a lot of fun to have on the back. No one recommends them on a 10.5" wide wheel. But, I like 'em on mine.

99 blue that was what they offered and i would probably run that up front but the car makes a lot of power and i need all the help i can get out back(not that i think it will hook but the car makes 400ftlbs at 3000 rpm and it tends to break loose a lot at that point) i would really like to run nittos again so i may comprimise and end up doing that

or i may just get new tires on my tt2s and wait i dont know

Got any pics of them? Trying to decide which tires to go with for the DD Y2K's also. Also does nitto offer a matching front other than a drag radial? I always see people mix and match other brands up front so i figured not.

Cool thanks..some nittos run narrow correct? Was curious if the 305's would actually be bigger than other brands 295's. Oh and thanks for the lugs

its not the tread that runs narrow on the nittos its the side wall, the nitto side wall does not buldge out like most tires
