315/40/18 NT05R's Is anybody running these? I just bought a set but now I'm worried they will not fit, plus my car is lowered. Up front i got some nitto invos 275/35/18. I don't mind if I have to raise the rear a bit to make them fit but do I also have to roll the fenders and BFH mod? If its to much of hassle I'm just gonna return them.
Hopefully someone can help us out.

What kind of rims you got. I just bought a set of c5z06 rims 18x10.5 and was planning to wrap them with this tire but I think the tire just looks to damn tall.

mount them and try them out, if they dont fit then return them and go with a lower profile.
the 40 series on a 18 will be pretty high I run 315/35/17s so mine are quit ab it smaller in diamiter.
for what its worth though the hammer mod is not a big thing its very easy to do but if you need more modification than that then go smaller on the profile

Yeah I don't mind hammering on it but rolling the fenders, um don't like that idea to much. I wish I would have just gone with 17in rims so I wouldn't have issues but to late now. That's what im planning to do, is just do a test fit and if they don't fit I'll go with a 305/35/18 Nitto but only ones I can find is the 555r and they really don' seem to good.

See and I don't want to alter my fenders all crazy just to fit this tire,I'd rather just return the tire and get a different size but Nitto sizing seems to suck. NovaCain383 can you let me know how it is that you got your tires to fit.

You think if I do roll the fenders, I'd have to roll them a lot or would it be more of having to roll the fender lip and a little on the overall fender. Massaging the inner fenders is no problem I got a rubber hammer ready.

I'm lowered a little more 1.75-2" from stock and I run a 18x10 out back with Michelin PS 295/35/18s.
Mine rubbed the outer fender, and are fine on the inner. Close, but they don't rub. I had to work the outer fender a bit. It's going to depend on your rear rim width/offset. You may be close, but the old Nittos ran a little small. Not familiar with the new ones.
Also, mine would only rub on big whoops on the highway, and under load on on ramps/off ramps.

What size spacer are you going to be running sayed 000?
I think NovaCain383's car looks good to me, has a good stance and tires don't seem to stick out to much.
Oh and the rear rims are 18x10.5 z06 motorsports with a 56mm offset, that is the only offset I could find.
