Default M/T 305/35/18 Will they fit? Or NTO5/Pilot? Picts!




Here is what i have:
Im currently running Pilot Sports 295/35/18. I have never had an issue with rubbing whatso ever.
I am looking at the Mt drag radial 305/35/18 tires, and i have a 18inch rim, but im wondering if these tires will work without rolling the fenders?
I am really wanting to run m/t for hook up purposes, but how do the others compair with each other?

Here are my options, and the sizes of the three tires im interested in.

For Pilot Sports: 455.00 (pair) on ebay 295/35/18 -
(Overall- 25.5''/ Tread width- 10 3/4 / Side Wall Width- 12'')
^ I MEASURED MY OLD ONES & GOT THESE READINGS, THEY ARE WORN ^

For Nitto NT05: 510.00 (pair) on ebay 295/35/18-
(Overall- 26.18/ Tread width- 11.60 / Sidewall width ?)

For Mt Drag Radial: 575.00 (pair) everywhere 305/35/18-
(Overall- 26.4/ Tread width- 11.50/ Sidewall width 12.5)

My main concern with the M/Ts (which im leaning towards) is that a 305 will rub.. My car sits as the pictures show. Will going to a M/T with the sizes given make that much of a difference?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. And Ill be making my choice here in the next 2-3 days, have a track day event coming up, and want to hook up off the line..

I have them and I don't think you'll have any rubbing issues with the quarter panel. My quarter panels were cut years ago, but the tires don't come close to hitting with my setup.

BTW - they're a good bit taller than what is advertised, over 27"
