Mickey makes a 265/40 that I'm running in an 18". Not great hooking up at the strip because of a lack of sidewall. But beastly on the street.

yea i know what u mean! iv been running on the 555rs for over a year now and i have 305/35/18 on a 10.5 inch rim. i was wanting to try the new nto5r but they the dont make them in that size but i know mt does but my car sees alot of street miles along with the track and the mt doesnt last that long even though they hook very well. so i guess ur stuck like me with only a small choice of options and if had i did more research before i bought my wheels i would have just bought 17s lol
