Default 29" tire will fit under a C5

Nitto 305/45R18 will fit when you use the stock wheel and remove the inner wheel well. That's a 29 inch tall tire for any racers out there that are frustrated with being stuck with lo-pro drag radials. Can't wait to bottle it again.

Homeslice, haven't seen you around for awhile. anyway, does the 45 series come any wider than the 305? I have the 315 BFG's in 30 and wanted a bigger sidewall, but can cut a pretty good sixty with them. Check it out, nice looking tire except not much sidewall.

I had the BFG's... they look great and they worked pretty well but the tire size was one inch smaller than stock and with my setup, taller is better.

Not sure if they go wider on the 18" wheel. I'd check the nitto site.
