Nitto drag radials Does nitto make a 295/35/18 ? I saw the 305/45/18 would that tire look to be the same HEIGHT as the stock one? i understand its wider which I like, but I dont wanna get it if its gonna be a bigger sidewall.

I also have the 305/35-18, mounted on a Z06 rim, which has the proper width for the tire. The dia. is 26.4"(oem=26.7"?), sidewall is 4.2". Do not get the 305/45-18. That tire is too tall for your car.
This tire so badazz, I can't believe it! What a difference it makes! Got mine from DTD also!

so the 305's fit on the stock 9.5.
Damn wish i would have know when I purchased the 285's.
What sucks is I got a bad one. And for the return you have to purchase the one they send to you then send your bad one back and they pro-rate for the return amount.
I think that kinda sucks..

Has any one had clearance issues with the ZO6 wheels, 10.5" with the 305's and the car is lowered. If not what's the measurment from your tire to the fender. I've got mine pretty low and it will rub the tire and fender a tiny bit pulling in and out of drive ways, i know I can raise it back up, just curious where any one else is running thiers. Thanks

The 305 does a lot better on the 10.5 rim, the 9.5 might work for a 295 though.
Check the Nitto 555r site, for a spec sheet on recommended rim sizes, for all their tires.
