Default 295/45-18 Street Tires?

Any good 28x11, 295/45-18 street tires out there besides Nitto NT-555?

Will it fit? I know my 295/40R18's fit pretty snug.

I should've mentioned I'm currently running the same size in 2 different sets for 16" wheels. One MT Street and the other is BF Goodrich TA. The BF's I have for the street are actually closer to 27x12 so I'm using a spacer. In general 28x11 tires will fit but may require a little BFH'n.

The 295 isn't what I'm concerned about it's the 45 profile that is weird

My bad, the BFG's are actually 295/50's.

I'm currently running a near stock tire size up front on stock wheels.

http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp check this out before you choose those tires. A 295/50/18 or even a 45 profile is close to 30 inches tall I'm running 295/35/18

Thanks for the link. The 295/50 MT ET Streets just barely fit, but they do fit. So I'm thinking the 295/45 Nitto will be close.

For the 295/45-18 Nitto NT-555 their website shows 28.31x11.54. The calculator shows 28.5x11.6. I need to figure out the true measurement of the ET Streets, because I think that is the tallest tire that will fit the car. I'll have to measure it when I get home.
