Default Since Nittos run small....

Hey guys. My 18x8 Privats are suffering with 265 street tires on the back. A converter is going in this winter so ill need some stickier tires. The smallest sticky i could find is a 285/35/18 nitto 555r. Is there any chance of this going on and if it does, will it even help due to size? Thanks!

That ain't gonna fit, and if you do force the damned thing on the sides will be curled, reducing the amount of tread on the ground. . . .

Get wider wheels to fit wider tires . . .

Well if you don't want yours widened or have to run spacers, you're going to have to look into some new wheels
