Default 305/315 18" tire owners enter here!!

I have been searching for days on here and various other websites looking for some pics of a camaro/trans am that has a 315/40/18 tire/drag radial. I am considering the Nitto Nt05R for my 2002 Ram Air, but wanted to see what they looked like mounted on a car before I drop $700 for two tires. It doesn't matter what I will have to do to make them fit. I just want to know that they aren't going to be to tall of a tire and give the car too much of a rake. I have 245/40/18's for the front on an 18x8.5" wheel if that helps. Could please anyone post some pics of these tires on an f-body or maybe point me in a direction to get an idea of what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

I would try and find some Toyo TQ proxes drag radials over the NT05R. I got mine brand new for less than $500 shipped after a week or 2 of searching. They hook great and are even nice in the rain!

I went with the 305/35/18 Mickey Thompson. I wanted to make sure that I had a tire that would hook no matter what and they were cheaper than the Nitto's and the Toyo was almost the same price after I had to pay the high shipping prices. Will post pics later!

That's the tire I plan on running when iget my 18's. Get some pics up outlaw. I haven't been able to find very many pics of the tires mounted on an F-body.

OP another option if you were looking for a wider 28'' DR for an 18'' wheel would be the M&H 325/40/18. If i was looking for a 28'' tall tire this would be my choice.

I was worried they would like they had too much sidewall, but it looks perfect to me. It will look badass once you get the car lowered...

315/40/18 is going to be a lot of sidewall. I'd run a 305/35/18.
