295 45 18 on ruff 18x 9.5
Looking at getting the Nitto nt05 in this size. Its got 275 35 18's on the rear now, and would like a taller tire back there, as I am boosted with 4.11 gears. Anyone know if 295's fit 9.5 inch ruff 280's? What does a 45 look like on an 18 lol? Any pics or ideas?
Here is a pic of the car, fronts are 245 40 18, rears 275 35 18

I just re-read your post you were looking at the NT05, not the NT01 . .
NT05 is avail and fits. How would it look? . . . BIG . . . for a "drag" look" it will be dead on, for a street look . . . not sure . . .
FYI, it the is OEM Ford F150 Lightning tire size . . . .

With the 295/45/18s(28.45")you'll have around 1.4" more sidewall compared to the 275/35/18s(25.58").
IMO,too tall for great handling, but gear wise probably drop you down to around 5900rpm (at 105 mph) which would be good!
Maybe a 295/40/18, or 285/40/18.

thanks for finding those pics! The 45's dont look too shabby, just dont want to go with that tall of a tire if it looks like dogsh1t, but i could use the taller tire as it is cheaper than a gear swap, and will be getting 28 inch tall slicks eventually anyways..
question now is, will it look horrible on an 18 inch rim?

if u check my cardomain, i have pics of 18x9.5 ruffs on 275/40/18's. I think they looked great in my opinion. 45's may be overkill IMO.
I actually have 2 275/40/18's if your interested PM me.
