NT 555's
 
Anybody have any pics with these tires that show how they fill up the rim
275/4017's on 17x9.5 wheels
I've seen several tires this size on wheels like mine and they seem to look "stretched" to fit the wheels and I would like to see how they look before I buy them.
I can't find them locally up here and the only way for me to get them is mail-order.

the 275's is whats suposed to be on those wheels so those wont look streached.
the nittos are a good looking tire and they have more of a rounded edge

I have NT555's on my car. They look good and fill the wheel up fine. I'm running 275/40R17's. The wheels are 17 X 9.5" (I think, it has been several years since I purchased them) SLP chrome 10 spoke SS rims. They are a good tire for the money, but I am thinking about upgrading to a goodyear.
I hope the pics tell you what you need to know.

Thanks Cuda those pics did help and I'm thinking that is the way I'm going to go this round. I Have had new goodyears on a few cars and I got to tell ya that every time I bought them I've had out of round issues with them. I WILL NEVER buy another set of Kumho's that I can say for sure. I have had better luck with off brands than any of the top names but i gues you just never know

I have NT 555's on the front. 275/40/17. They don't look good from the side unless you keep them black.

I got Toyo Proxes 4 on the rear. 275/40/17 They look better to me because of the twin tread pattern.

I loved my Nitto 555s when I had them on the car. Handled well and hooked good as well. I honestly thought they were one of the better looking tires out there, sidewall and all.
