If you really in truely feel this way then why did you ask? Are you purposely trying to stir the pot on tire size issues that, I do not permit to discuss?

Before asking the question did you do your research? www.nittotire.com?

I would have to guess NO . . . since:

ONE, drag radials don't even come in that size:



SO one looks at the NT555

TWO, it clearly shows that a 295/45ZR18 tire FITS a 18" x 9.5" wheel . .

THREE, there is no such animal as a 295/35ZR18 tire . . .

And the point being?

The internet is a powerful tool to find endless amounts of information . . . use it. I found the information you were looking for in less than ten minutes, even including the time to past the tire charts to my photo hosting site . . .

Then you wouldn't have to post inflamatory posts by starting out with:

"I know this will get locked . . ."

I bought the Nitto Invo in a 295/35-18 for a 10.5 rim. Anything over a 285 would be to big for a 9.5 rim. I would stick with either s 275 or a 285. The Invo's run alittle wider then the 295/35-18 Toyo Proxes that I had before

And to answer the question on WHAT model Nitto . .

NO, 295/35ZR18 DO NOT fit 9.5" wide wheels. Per Nitto's web site. Need 10" minimum.


A 285/35ZR18 would work . . .

If you really want the Nitto Invo for a 18x9.5 rims here ya go

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=275

Its a very soft tire and a very quiet tire. I have the Invos in the back and Toyo Proxes up front and I can tell a huge difference
