I have been looking for tires for my 18x10.5 ZO6's and I have found alot of 295's but not many 305's or 315's (other than drag radials). I was looking at some 295/35/18's goodyear F1's.

I'm looking for ANY pics of them on the car. Prefferably DR's on a Camaro, however 305 street tires on a Firebird would work as well as long as their 18's. I'm just trying to see how they'd look.

Well since no one has any pics of them on a Fbody here they are on my old ride. Nitto 555R 305's. I don't believe anyone else makes a 305. These were on a 9.5"rim which is a litte smaller than the recommended size but Nittos due tend to run smaller.

Pushing close to 1K at the wheels. Pics don't even do it justice. The paint looks like you could go swimming in it.

When he rolls up it sounds like someone unleashed hell. Monster cam thump and huge blower whine..... WICKED

Sorry to step on someone's thread...but ye ask and ye shall receive...here's just a couple teaser's and a vid of July Jam Dyno day in Dallas...as you'll see we were trying to cool down the intercooler for a 1xxx pull and put some "extra" weight in the rear but the clutch had enough at 880RWHP.

If anyone EVER interups any of my threads with something like this, I will never be upset

That is one wicked sick car!! My Z sounds similar, but not nearly as potent! Now you'll need to excuse me while I watch the video a few hundred more times

Here's a 305-35-18 555R. It's not the best photo, because it's from a video. But, you can see how much larger and wider it is compared to a 275-40-17.



Quick Reply: Anyone have a pic of a 305 sized tire on an 18 inch wheel on their F-body?
