315 tires

i was gonna order some 18x10.5 c5 dd wheels with nitto tires and wanted nitto 555 tires again but it seems they do not make a 315 size tire for 18's i just assumed they did stupid me

so my question is who makes that size tire

thanks in advance

You could go with a 295/35/18, there's plenty of tires available in that size.

335/30/18's are a lot of fun to have on the back. No one recommends them on a 10.5" wide wheel. But, I like 'em on mine.

99 blue that was what they offered and i would probably run that up front but the car makes a lot of power and i need all the help i can get out back(not that i think it will hook but the car makes 400ftlbs at 3000 rpm and it tends to break loose a lot at that point) i would really like to run nittos again so i may comprimise and end up doing that

or i may just get new tires on my tt2s and wait i dont know

Got any pics of them? Trying to decide which tires to go with for the DD Y2K's also. Also does nitto offer a matching front other than a drag radial? I always see people mix and match other brands up front so i figured not.

its not the tread that runs narrow on the nittos its the side wall, the nitto side wall does not buldge out like most tires
