I think you'll get more answers here in the tire and wheels section.

1. NT05 is not a drag radial, the NT05R is however.

2. What size wheels are you running?

3. What vehicle?

4. The 305/45/r18 is going to be taller than the 295/35/r18.

5. What do you want out of the tires/what kind of driving will you be doing?

You'll need adjustable LCAs and panhard along with all the other usual big tire stuff: rolled quarters, modified bumpstops, hammered wells...

Why such a tall tire? Unless you're making a LOT of power all it will do is look stupid and slow you down.
